Question

Which function below has the largest slope?




f(x)

x f(x)
2 4
4 12
6 20

g(x)

g(x)=10x - 4

h(x)

Lance gains 1 level each time he plays his favorite video game. He started at level 10.


f(x)

g(x)

h(x)

The functions all have the same slope

Answer 1

The slope is basically the change in y over the change in x (rise over run)
In this case you are asked to find which slope is the greatest meaning the greatest change in y over change in x

Answer 2

We have to evaluate the slope from three different situations:
a) A table [ f(x) ]
b) An equation in slope-intercept form [ g(x) ]
c) A "word" equation" [ h(x) ]

When we find the slopes of each, we just choose the largest one, the largest number

Do you have any idea as to how you're going to find the slope from a, b, or c?
