Given the function f(x) = 4x + 10 and g(x), which function has a greater slope?

Question

Given the function f(x) = 4x + 10 and g(x), which function has a greater slope?

xg(x)
2	5
4	7
6	9

A f(x) has a greater slope.

B g(x) has a greater slope

C. The slopes of f(x) and g(x) are the same.

D The slope of g(x) is undefined.

Answer 1

It looks like you have a table of values for the function g(x):

x g(x)

2 5

4 7

6 9

The slope of g(x) is found by finding the change in g(x) divided by the change in x like this:

The slope of f(x) = 4 so f(x) has the greater slope.

Answer 2

So, the slope is the change in y/the change in x.

(7 - 5)/(4 - 2) = 2/2 = 1
