Function A is a line with 4 dots with 1 arrow on each side pointing away from each other the first dot is at
(-4, 0) the second one is at (-2, 1) the third one is at (0, 2) the last one is at (2, 3)
Function B: x 0 4 8 y 3 -9 -21
Function C: y=x+5
1. Which function has a negative rate of change (slope)?
2. Which function has the smallest y-intercept?
3. Which function would you want to represent your money earned per hour?
4. Which function would give you the highest initial amount of money?
1. Function B has a negative rate of change (slope) because as x increases, y decreases.
2. Function B has the smallest y-intercept, which is 3.
3. Function C (y=x+5) would be ideal to represent money earned per hour as the y-intercept of 5 represents the hourly wage.
4. Function A has the highest initial amount of money as it starts at y=0.
