Answer:
(a)The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).
(b)g(x) has a greater y-intercept.
Explanation:
Part A
From the table of f(x), we have the pairs:
(-1,-12),(0,-6) and (1,0).
First, we find the slope of f(x).
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}} \\ =\frac{-6-0}{0-1} \\ =-\frac{6}{-1} \\ =6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Given the function g(x) defined as follows:
[tex]g(x)=2x+6[/tex]
Comparing g(x) with the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), the slope of g(x) is m=2.
Sentence: The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x).
Part B
The y-intercept is the point in a function where x=0.
In f(x), When x=0, f(x)=-6
• The y-intercept of f(x) is -6.
Comparing g(x) with the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), the y-intercept of g(x), b=6.
Therefore, g(x) has a greater y-intercept.
