Function 2 shows a greater rate of change, because Edwin spends $90 each month and Adam spends $21 each month. Function 2 shows a greater rate of change, because Edwin spends $9 each month and Adam spends $7 each month. Function 1 shows a greater rate of change, because Adam spends $21 each month and Edwin spends $81 each month. Function 1 shows a greater rate of change, because Adam spends $7 each month and Edwin spends –$9 each month.
