Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes?

f(x) Dawn writes 800 pages in 80 days.

The function f(x) has a larger slope.

The function g(x) has a larger slope.

They both have the same slope.

The relationship between slopes cannot be determined.

It's hard to read. Would it be worth it to use these comments to rewrite the middle part with the equation option or?

a little editing would do wonders here

I'd say the chart looks like this:
|dw:1409693593324:dw|
Just saying

is that better?

adamaero · Answer

Wouldn't you just do
4/6 = 12/30      ?

adamaero · Answer

I'll give you another hint: it's not the last two.

anonymous · Answer

I thought it was A

adamaero · Answer

Are you guessing?

anonymous · Answer

No before I posted this I knew I was stuck between A or D but you said it wasnt the last two so that tells me it wasnt D

adamaero · Answer

I'm probably in the same boat of uncertainty as you, cuz I'd choose B. If you think its A, 
do that.

camerondoherty · Answer

Actually,
You make an equation for each
Convert into slope intercept form
and compare the slopes
