Given:
One linear function represented by the table.
Another linear function represented by the graph.
To find:
The greater unit rate and greater y-intercept.
Solution:
Formula for slope (unit rate):
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
From the given table it is clear that the linear function passes through (0,5) and (5,15). The function intersect the y-axis at (0,15), so the y-intercept is 15.
[tex]m_1=\dfrac{15-5}{5-0}[/tex]
[tex]m_1=\dfrac{10}{5}[/tex]
[tex]m_1=2[/tex]
So, the unit rate of first function is 2.
From the given graph it is clear that the linear function passes through (0,6) and (-4,0). The function intersect the y-axis at (0,6), so the y-intercept is 6.
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{0-6}{-4-0}[/tex]
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{-6}{-4}[/tex]
[tex]m_2=\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
So, the unit rate of first function is [tex]\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex].
Now,
[tex]2>\dfrac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m_1>m_2[/tex]
And,
[tex]15>6[/tex]
Therefore, the greater unit rate of the two functions is 2. The greater y-intercept of the two functions is 15.
