please check my answer.. I think its A.

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

Which statement is correct about the slope and intercept of the two functions? Their slopes are equal but y-intercepts are not equal. Their slopes are not equal but y-intercepts are equal. Both slopes and y-intercepts are equal. Neither slopes nor y-intercepts are equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes It would be a I hope I helped

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

can you prove it?

OpenStudy (baru):

do you know how to find slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry but I don't have time to explain this but I know its (D) neither slopes nor y- intercepts are equal .. I have helped someone on this exact question and it was correct , I gtg so I don't have the time to explain how I got , good luck!

OpenStudy (celinegirl):

@baru would it be D?

OpenStudy (math&ing001):

Function 1 is 3x+8. So the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 8. Now for function 2: The y-intercept is the value of y, when x=0. Here we got y=5 when x=0. So the y-intercept is 5. The slope we can find using the formula m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are 2 point in our function. In our case m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(8-5)/(1-0)=3 So the two functions have the same slope but different y-intercepts. Option A was correct.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

"The function is 8 more than 3 times x" translates to f(x) = 3x + 8. You should name the function (as I did by using f(x)= ).

Ask yourself: Does this function represent Table B? If yes, then what? If no, then what?
