Two functions, A and B, are described as follows: Function A y = 8x + 3 Function B The slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 4. How much more is the slope of function A than the slope of function B? 1 7 8 9

OpenStudy (amistre64):

define thier slopes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had put my answer as c

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your options re not lettered so 'c' is not a valid descriptor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the number 8 was my asnwer haha

OpenStudy (amistre64):

function B has a slope already defined A is in slope intercept form, so one of the numbers in it is the slope, but which one? does slope define a rate of change? or a constant?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a rate of change

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then the constant term is not the slope, what is the slope of A? slopeA - spose B = difference slopeA - 1 = difference

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still confused

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im not a mindreader so youll have to explain your confusion

OpenStudy (amistre64):

also, study up on what the slope intercept form is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand what the slope of a is

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then you have a focus on what you need to study ... good luck
