Question

The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2:



Function 2
y = 2x + 7

How much more is the rate of change of function 1 than the rate of change of function 2? (4 points)


2
4
3
1

Answer 1

@bibby

Answer 2

what's the rate of change of a straight horizontal line?

Answer 3

idk
the graph is up there

Answer 4

I already know the answer lol

Answer 5

oh lol

Answer 6

LOL im dumb! lol

Answer 7

ummmm idk?

Answer 8

llloooool

Answer 9

what's so funny buddy

Answer 10

idk

Answer 11

the slope of a horizontal line is always 0. use the slope formula to confirm. let's take 2 random points on the line (3,6) and (5,6). if you notice as we increase x, the y's dont chaneg
\(m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{6-6}{5-3}=\frac{0}{2}=0\)

Answer 12

im still confused

Answer 13

find the rate of change of the 2nd equation and compare it to the rate of change of the horizontal line (0)

Answer 14

hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Answer 15

what's the slope of y=2x+7

Answer 16

3.5

Answer 17

how'd you get that

Answer 18

idk lol i guessed because 3.5x2?

Answer 19

that's the weirdest thing I've ever seen lol

Answer 20

lines of the form y=mx+b have a slope of m
for example y=2x has a slope of 2
y=3x+6 has a slope of 3
y=-5x-22 has a slope of -5

Answer 21

oh so 5

Answer 22

y = 2x + 7

Answer 23

9!
