The graph represents function 1, and the equation represents function 2: 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? 3 4 5 8

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

It is given that the function 1 is a horizontal line that passing through the y-axis at y = 4.

It means the rate of change of function 1 is 0.

The slope intercept form of a linear function is

           .... (1)

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The function 2 is

          .... (2)

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

The rate of change of function 2 is 8.

The difference between rate of change is

The rate of change of function 2 is 8 more than the rate of change of function 1.

Therefore, the correct option is D.
