(a) What is the rate of change for each function? Show your work.function 1 Function 1 can be graphed and is given by the following line y = 2x - 1 the slope of the line in this case is m = 2
Function 2 For this case you get the slope as follows m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) choosing two points and substituting m = ((0) - (4)) / ((- 1) - (0)) = 4
(b) Which function has the greatest rate of change? Function 2 has the greatest rate of change m = 4
