Compare the rates of change of the following functions. Function A: Y = 5x - 3 Function B: Y = 4x + 2
Added by Mary P.
Step 1
To compare the rates of changes of the two functions, we need to find their slopes. The slope of Function A is 5, because the coefficient of x is 5. The slope of Function B is 4, because the coefficient of x is 4. Show more…
