The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2:

Function 1
A coordinate plane graph is shown. A horizontal line is graphed passing through the y-axis at y = 4.

Function 2
y = 8x + 12

How much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1? (4 points)

A:=3

B:=4

C:=5

D:=8

Answer 1

Explanation:

Actually, none of the posted possible answers is correct. The slope of the horizontal line is zero, whereas the slope of the given equation is 8. There is no number which, when multiplied by 0, results in a non-zero product.

However, if we are ADDING instead of multiplying, then the correct number is 8, because 0 + 8 = 8.

Answer 2

D. is the answer.
