Answer:
Option B is correct
Function 1, because the slope is 4 and the slope of function 2 is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-intercept form:
The equation of line is given by:
\(y=mx+b\)
where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
As per the statement:
Function 1: y = 4x + 5
On comparing with [1] we have;
Slope of function 1 = 4
Function 2: The line passing through the points (1, 6) and (3, 10).
Using slope formula:
\(\text{Slope}= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)
Substitute the given points we have;
\(\text{Slope}= \frac{10-6}{3-1}\)
⇒\(\text{Slope}= \frac{4}{2}\)
Simplify:
⇒\(\text{Slope}=2\)
⇒\(\text{Slope}= \frac{4}{2}\)
⇒ Slope of the function 2 is, 2
Since, function 1 is greater rate of change.( i.e 4 > 2)
Therefore,
Function 1 has the greater rate of change, because the slope is 4 and the slope of function 2 is 2.
