Below are two different functions, f(x) and g(x). What can be determined about their slopes? f(x)= 4x + 2
A) function f(x) has a larger slope
B) the function g(x) has a larger slope
C) they both have the same slope
D) the relationship between slopes cannot be determined

Explanation:

The slope of f(x) is 4, since the equation y = 4x+2 has slope m = 4. Compare this to y = mx+b.

The slope of g(x) is 5. Note how if we started at (0,-2) on the red line and moved up 5 and to the right 1, we arrive at (1,3) which is another point on the red line. You could use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

to get the same result.

Since the slope of f(x) is 4 and the slope of g(x) is 5, we see that g(x) has a larger slope. The g(x) line is steeper compared to f(x).

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
