Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes?
f(x)= −1x + 1 The function g of x going through 0, 3 and 2, negative 1
The function f(x) has a larger slope.
The function g(x) has a larger slope.
They both have the same slope.
The relationship between slopes cannot be determined.

@geerky42 do you know how to help me with this if you don't can you tag someone who can?

@hhelpplzzzz
geerky42 (geerky42):
Can you tell me the slope of f(x)?
Still Need Help?

tbh idk like i would know how to answer it if you like guide me to it
geerky42 (geerky42):
Well. any line equation has form \(y = mx+b\)
Here, m is slope and b is y-intercept.
So in question, you have \(f(x) = -1x + 1\). Can you tell me what m is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the slope of f(x) is -1

@geerky42
geerky42 (geerky42):
Sorry for late reply, but yes -1
Now for g(x), are you familiar with \(slope = \dfrac{rise}{run}\)?
Still Need Help?

-2/1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so basically -2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and np for the late response i thought you left xD
geerky42 (geerky42):
Yes correct slope of g(x) is -2.
Now which has larger slope?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(x) because its a -1
