The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2: Function 2 y = 8x + 12 How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1? 3 4 5 8 @dreamio

@Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

rate of change = slope

Nnesha (nnesha):

slope of vertical line = undefined slope of horizontal line = 0 y =mx +b where m is slope so what is the slope of function one and 2 ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

uhhhh.......

Nnesha (nnesha):

y=mx+ b is a slope intercept where m is slope what is m in this equation y =8x+12 ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

?

Nnesha (nnesha):

what ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

i dont understand

Nnesha (nnesha):

y =mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept y=8x+12 what is m in this equation

Nnesha (nnesha):

slope = rate of change

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

how do i solve y=8x+12 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

you don't have to solve it

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

then how do i find the answer to my question?

Nnesha (nnesha):

y=8x+12 is same as y=mx+b where m represent slope which is always with x variable

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

im confused as to how to find my final answer

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

Function 2 y = 8x + 12 How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1? 3 4 5 8

Nnesha (nnesha):

try to understand the process instead just looking ofr an answer

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

i am

Nnesha (nnesha):

then reread what i posted above

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

but i kinda need to gofaster bc i have 50 lessons to do in 2 days

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

how do i find rate of change?

Nnesha (nnesha):

for this this question you don't *have to find it* it just right there at front of your eyes y = mx+b y = 8x +12 what number is replaced by m in this equation ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

8

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so that's slope of function 2

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

oh ok

Nnesha (nnesha):

now remember slope of horizontal line is zero and slope of vertical line is undefined so what is slope of the graph ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

is there a horizontal line or vertical ?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

horizontal

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

0

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

so is the answer 8?

Nnesha (nnesha):

how ? How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1?

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

if horizontal = 0 , 8-0=8

Nnesha (nnesha):

ohh 8 looks like b sorry about that yes it's D

Nnesha (nnesha):

i thought u said b

OpenStudy (muscrat123):

oh. lol . thxthxthxthxthxthx

Nnesha (nnesha):
