Answer 1

First start by changing the english wording into a mathematical equation/

Answer 2

I dont understand this can u help me

Answer 3

Two linear functions, f and g, have the same y-intercept. Function f has a slope that is half the slope of function g.
Which of the following is not true?
A. The functions have the same rate of change.
B. The functions cross the y-axis at the same point.
C. Function g has a greater rate of change than function f.
D. The graphs of both functions are straight lines.

Answer 4

Do you know what a linear function is?

Answer 5

Sort of

Answer 6

Okay. Well before you can answer the question, you need to know what a linear function is.

A linear function is a function where the slope is linear, or that is in the shape of a line. That means that the slope of these functions has an exponent of 1. Any other degree and it would not be linear. This makes senses because the slope then has a constant rate of change, and the graph of the function is of a line.

Does this make sense?
