@anteater can you help with this too?
OpenStudy (anteater):
Looking
OpenStudy (anteater):
For your function g(x) = 3x - 2 do you know what the slope of that linear function is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@anteater Brb getting called
OpenStudy (anteater):
Sure. Hint, slope-intercept form of a linear equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

So, for g(x) or y = 3x - 2 what would the slope be?
OpenStudy (oleg3321):
hey guys i just need help with number 2
OpenStudy (anteater):
Oh, ok! For g(x) = 3x - 2, the slope is 3 and y-intercept is -2, correct?
OpenStudy (anteater):
Now, looking at the chart that has data for the other linear function, what is the y-intercept there do you think?
OpenStudy (anteater):
Since the y-intercept is the value that you get for y when x is 0.

Looking at the chart, when x = 0, what is y?
OpenStudy (anteater):
or f(x)
OpenStudy (anteater):
Since y = f(x)
OpenStudy (anteater):
When x = 0, f(x) = f(0) = -1 , so the y-intercept for the linear function f(x) is -1
And they want to know which is bigger, that number or the y-intercept for your other function g(x). The y-intercept for g(x) was -2. So, which is greater, -1 or -2?
OpenStudy (oleg3321):
-1

Yes :)
OpenStudy (anteater):
And what did you find for the slope of f(x) by the way?
OpenStudy (oleg3321):
so the answer is -1 is greater that -2
OpenStudy (anteater):
Yes, since -1>-2, the y-intercept of f(x) is larger than the y-intercept of g(x)
OpenStudy (oleg3321):
thanks

Did you find the answer to part A?
OpenStudy (oleg3321):
yes thanks ill message you cause i have more questions
OpenStudy (anteater):
Actually, I have to go now, since I have an appointment.
OpenStudy (anteater):
But ganeshie is a good one to ask!
