The equation below represents Function A and the graph represents Function B:

Function A

f(x) = x - 9

Function B

graph of line going through ordered pairs negative 1, negative 3 and 2, 3

Which equation best compares the slopes of the two functions?

Slope of Function B = 2 x Slope of Function A.
Slope of Function A = Slope of Function B
Slope of Function A = 2 x Slope of Function B
Slope of Function B = - Slope of Function A

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct option is A., i.e, Slope of Function B = 2 x Slope of Function A.

Explanation:

The given function is,

[tex]f(x)=x-9[/tex]

It can be written as,

[tex]y=x-9[/tex]

It is the slope intercept form like y=mx+c, where m is the slope. On comparing the f(x) with the slope intercept form, we get the slope of f(x) is 1.

The graph of function g(x) passing through the point (-1,-3) and (2,3).

If a line passing through the points [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex], then the slope of line is,

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{3-(-3)}{2-(-1)}=\frac{3+3}{2+1}= \frac{6}{3} =2[/tex]

The slope of g(x) is 2.

Since slope of f(x) is 1 and the slope of g(x) is 2, so we can say that the slope of function B is twice of slope of function A.

Slope of Function B = 2 x Slope of Function A

Therefore, the first option is correct.

The answer is A... yeet
