The two linear functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below. f(x)= 5/6x+3 https://northbranchsd.owschools.com/media/o_advalg_2015/2/img_-alg2_9_16a_01_figure8.gif Which of the following is true? The rate of change of the function g(x) is -2. The rate of change of f(x) is 20/21 times the rate of change of g(x). The rate of change of f(x) is greater than the rate of change of g(x). The product of the rate of changes of f(x) and g(x) is -6.

OpenStudy (tylerd):

your pic only shows g(x)

OpenStudy (tylerd):

rate of change of a linear function is the slope m, in the form y=mx+b

OpenStudy (tylerd):

ah i c f(x)=5/6x+3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }x+3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (tylerd):

so for g(x) your slope is the rise/run, or 2/2 = 1

OpenStudy (tylerd):

its y intercept is at -2

OpenStudy (tylerd):

so g(x)=x-2

OpenStudy (tylerd):

or g(x)=1x-2, where m=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok cool I got the question right then

OpenStudy (tylerd):

it seems like part b is the trickiest here
