Which equation best compares the slopes of the two functions? Slope of Function B = 2 × Slope of Function A. Slope of Function A = Slope of Function B Slope of Function A = 2 × Slope of Function B Slope of Function B = - Slope of Function A

@Directrix @acxbox22

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

what is the slope of the second line?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

(0,-3) ?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

that is the y intercept use rise/run

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

-3?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

here is the equation for slope slope= y2-y1/x2-x1 pick any two points and use this formula to find slope

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

3^2-1 thats what i got there but there is only one point on the x axis ;( i still don't understand

OpenStudy (ilovewolf):

I'm going with C? Not a 100% sure either

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

thats what i thought in the beginning but i second guessed myself

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

maybe @Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

First, you need the slope of function B.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

-3 i think?

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

i think its c

Directrix (directrix):

Forget about an answer and focus on the work, okay. Look at the attachment. What are the coordinates of the two red points? We will use them to get the slope of B.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

(3,3) and (2,1)

Directrix (directrix):

Here's the slope formula. To get the slope, what is the difference of the y coordinates: 3 - 1 = And, also the difference of the x coordinates 3 - 2 =

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

2 and 1 so slope is 2/1

Directrix (directrix):

Right.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ohh ok :D

Directrix (directrix):

Function A is y = -2x + 1 I have forgotten the question. Just a sec.

Directrix (directrix):

Is this what you are saying: Slope of Function B = - Slope of Function A

Directrix (directrix):

Whoa! I just saw the negative.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

comparing a slope of function A to function B

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, I agree that one of them is the additive inverse of the other. Or, one is the negative of the other.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

now I'm really confused
