Question

Consider the two functions shown here. Which function has the greater rate of change? Explain your answer.












A)
Function 1, because the rate of change is 2.



B)
Function 2, because the rate of change is ½.



C)
Function 2, because the rate of change is 7.



D)
Function 1, because the rate of change is ½

Answer 1

The rate of change, is the slope of the function or the graph

Answer 2

Answer 3

What is the slope of Function 1 and Function 2?

Answer 4

recall : slope = rise / run = change in y value / change in x value
and

y = mx+b where m is the slope

Answer 5

Function 1: For a change in one x unit, the y changes 2 units, so the slope is 2/1 or 2
Function 2: the slope is the m in y=mx+ b or m = 1/2

Answer 6

so which one has a larger rate of change?

Answer 7

Function 1 has a slope(rate of change) of 2
Function 2 has a slope(rate of change) of 1/2

which has the larger rate of change/slope?

Answer 8

a

Answer 9

don't you need to know point slope form for this

Answer 10

no, all you need to know is the slope of each

Answer 11

A is correct

Answer 12

oh

Answer 13

Whenever you see "Rate of Change", automatically think "Slope"

Answer 14

then yes A is your answer
