Question

Use the following functions to solve each:

f(x)= 2x - 3 g(x)= -4x -1

What is f(3)?

Which function has a steeper slope?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find f(3), plug 3 into the function f(x):

f(3) = 2 * 3 - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3

Therefore, f(3) = 3.

To determine which function has a steeper slope, compare the coefficients of x in each function.

For f(x), the coefficient of x is 2.
For g(x), the coefficient of x is -4.

Since 2 is greater than -4, function f(x) has a steeper slope.
