1 7
g(x)

g(x) = 3x − 2

Answer:

Part A: The slope f(x) is greater than slope g(x).

Part B: f(x) has a greater y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The slope of the line is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1), so now we have to find the slope f(x).

-1 - (-9) / 0 - (-1) = 8/1 = 8

That would be the slope, and for g(x) it would be 3x-2 = 3.

Which means the slope f(x) is greater than slope g(x).

Part B:

First the y-intercept has to be put on 0.

So, the when function f(x) passes through point (0, -1), then y-intercept is -1.

Now we compare g(x) = 3x-2 with the slope-intercept form and b = -2 is the result. form and b = -2 is the result.

Which means the slope of g(x) is -2. Therefore, f(x) has a greater y-intercept than g(x).

Answer:

A)  Slope of f(x) is 8.  Slope of g(x) is 3

B)  f(x) has the greater y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A

To find the slope of function f(x), use the slope formula:

[tex]\sf slope\:(m)=\dfrac{change\:in\:y}{change\:in\:x}=\dfrac{7-(-1)}{1-0}=8[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of f(x) is 8.

Linear function

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where:

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given:

  • [tex]g(x)=3x-2[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of g(x) is 3.

Part B

The y-intercept is when x = 0.  Therefore, from inspection of the table, the y-intercept of f(x) is -1.

The y-intercept of function g(x) is -2.

Therefore, as -1 > -2, function f(x) has the greater y-intercept.
