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). Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer.

Question

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x): xf(x)−1−50−113g(x)g(x) = 2x − 7 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). (6 points) Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer. (4 points)

Answer 1

Assuming the problem is for the linear functions:

f(x) = -1-50-113 g(x) = -51-113*(2x-7) = -226x+740

g(x) = 2x-7

The slopes are -226 and +2. The intercepts are +740 and -7.
