The table below represents a linear function f(x), and the equation represents a function g(x): X) -1, 0, 1 F(x) -5, -1, 3 G(x)=4x+3

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

Part B which functions has greater y-intercept. Justify

Answer:

(a) g(x) has a greater slope

(b) g(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]x \to -1,0,1[/tex]

[tex]f(x) \to -5,-1,3[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = 4x + 3[/tex]

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

Slope (m) is calculated as:

[tex]m =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

So, for f(x), we have:

[tex]m =\frac{-1- 0}{-5- -1}[/tex]

[tex]m =\frac{-1}{-4}[/tex]

[tex]m =\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

For g(x), we have:

Assume [tex]g(x) = mx + c[/tex] then the slope is m

Compare the above to [tex]g(x) = 4x + 3[/tex]

Then the slope of g(x) is 4

g(x) has a greater slope

Solving (b): Function with greater y intercept

Here we set [tex]x= 0[/tex]

From the table of f(x)

[tex]f(x) = -1[/tex] when [tex]x = 0[/tex]

From [tex]g(x) = 4x + 3[/tex]

[tex]g(0) = 4 * 0 + 3[/tex]

[tex]g(0) = 3[/tex]

Hence:

g(x) has a greater y intercept
