Question

The graph represents function 1 and the equation represents function 2:

A graph with numbers 0 to 4 on the x-axis and y-axis at increments of 1. A horizontal straight line is drawn joining the ordered pairs 0, 3 and 4, 3.

Function 2
y = 4x + 1

How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1?

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

A.

subtract both slopes

B.

in word problems:

"rate of change" means slope

C.

1. horizontal line's slope is 0

2. number next to the x is the slope

   y = 4x + 1 : slope is 4

3. "How much more" is word problems means subtract

4 - 0 = 4

D.

horizontal and vertical lines' slopes are 0
