Write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x)

Presenting the table vertically makes it easier to read:

X F(x)

-1 -5

0 -1

1 3

I see that if x increases by 1 from 0 to 1, y increases by 4 from -1 to 3. Thus, the slope of the line represented by the table is:

4

m = = 4/1 = 4

1

So, our two lines have the same slope: 4.

g(x) = 4x + 3; f(x) = 4x - 1

but they have different y-intercepts. Thus, the 2 lines are parallel and never cross one another.
