Question

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

Part A: Write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x).

Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer.

Hold on.

Answer 11

Okay.

Answer 12

Answer 13

The slope of the table data function is m = (32-30)/(1-0) = 2/1 = 2.

That is the same slope as that of g(x)= 8x -25.

Answer 14

The slope of g(x) = 8x -25 is 8 because in y = mx +b form in which the equation is written, the slope is the coefficient of the x term.

Answer 15

Thanks.

Answer 16

g(x)

Answer 17

This is for you to think about: Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer.

Answer 18

Okay.

Answer 19

Using points (0,30) and (1,32) in the online calculator, the equation of the table data line is this: y = 2x + 30. The y-intercept is 30.

The y intercept is where the graph cuts the y-axis.

The given line had y-intercept -25.

30 > -25

g(x) does not have the greater y-intercept, does it?
