Answer: Both slopes are equal
Explanation:
Let's pick the first two points to find the slope
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (3.8-2.6)/(3-1)
m = (1.2)/(2)
m = 0.6
You can pick any two points you want and you should get the same slope value.
This is equal to the slope of y = (3/5)x-5 since 3/5 = 0.6
So both functions have the same slope.
