How to Compare Linear Functions Graphs and Equations
Comparing Linear Function’s Graph and Equations – Example 1:
\(y=4x+1\)
Solution: First, find the slope \(m\) of function \(A\). Find the change in \(y\) and the change in \(x\) points \((-1, 0)\) and \((0, 2)\) on the line: \(m=\frac{change \ in \ y}{change \ in \ x}: \frac{0-2}{-1-0}=2\). Now, find the slope of function \(B\). The equation of function \(B\) in the slope-intercept form is \(y=4x+1\). Therefore, its slope is equal to \(4\). In the final step, compare the slopes. The slope of function \(B\) is \(4\) and is greater than the slope of function \(A(2)\).
