Question

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

Answer 1

a) f(x) has a larger slope
b) g(x) has a larger slope
c) they both have the same slope
d) the relations between slopes cant be determined

Answer 2

f(x) 4x+2

Answer 3

Answer 4

what is the slope of f(x) ?

Answer 5

2

Answer 6

y = mx+b is the general slope intercept form

m is the slope

Answer 7

match up y = mx+b with y = 4x+2

Answer 8

ohh yaaa sorry i knew that my brain just went out

Answer 9

so what is the slope of f(x)?

Answer 10

4

Answer 11

now find the slope of g(x)

Answer 12

it looks like the points (0,-2) and (1,3) are on this red line

Answer 13

ya

Answer 14

what do you get when you use the slope formula?

Answer 15

5

Answer 16

me too

Answer 17

yay lol

Answer 18

so g(x) has a larger slope

Answer 19

i litterly just wrote that down

Answer 20

lol very cool

Answer 21

@jim_thompson5910 if someone has something for 4 months ans still has something for 4 months does the line go upn down or side to side?

Answer 22

Can I see the full problem?

Answer 23

My guess is that this "something" is an object and they are measuring how many of this object you have. If that number doesn't change at all during the 4 months, then you have a slope of 0.

Slope of 0 = horizontal line

But this is just based off of a guess and I'd need to see the full problem.

Answer 24

i got it
