Question

Which function below has the smallest slope?


f(x)

f(x) = 5x - 4

g(x)

graph going through (0, 1) and (2, 5)
h(x)

x h(x)
1 14
4 15
7 16
f(x)
g(x)
h(x)
The functions all have the same slope

Answer 1

use the slope formula \(\huge m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 2

for f(x) the slope would be \(y=\color{blue}mx+b\)

Answer 3

how do i plug that in?

Answer 4

Answer 5

you're given multiple points. pick any 2 where (x_1,y_1) and (\(x_2,y_2)\)

Answer 6

for g(x) you only have 2 p oints to pick from but for h(x) you have 3 different points
