Below are two different functions, f (x) and g (x). What can be determined about their slopes?

f (x) = 3x - 3

The function g (x) going through 0, 2 and 1, 5

The function f (x) has a larger slope.

The function g (x) has a larger slope.

They both have the same slope.

The relationship between slopes cannot be determined.

Goodman · Answer 1

Let's find the slope of the line through (0,2) and (1,5)

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (5-2) / (1-0)

m = 3/1

m = 3

So the slope of g (x) is 3. The slope of f (x) is also 3. The two functions have the same slope.
