Question

Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes? f(x)= −1x + 1 The function g(x) going through 0, 3 and 1, 1

Answer 1

The slope of f(x) is -1 because it is written in the slope-intercept form
y = mx + c where m = slope.

the slope of g(x) is calculated from the 2 given points:-

slope = (3 - 1) / (0 - 1) = 2 / -1 = -2.

(The slope = difference in y values / corresponding difference in x values).
