The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

x
f(x)
−1
−5
0
−1
1
3
g(x)
g(x) = 4x + 3


Part A: Write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x). (6 points)( this is know )

Part B: Which function has a greater y-intercept? Justify your answer. (4 points ( help!!

Answer :

Slope of f(x)


Slope of g(x)


PART A)
The slopes of f(x) and g(x) are the same.

PART B)
The equation for line f(x)
y = 4x + b
-1 = 4(0) + b
-1 = b

y = 4x - 1

The function G(x) has a bigger y-intercept. The y-intercept of g(x) is 3, while the y-intercept of f(x) is -1.
