The U. S. gross domestic product, y, for the years from 2011 and projected to 2021 is given by: y = 977.8x + 13643.2 where x is the number of years past 1990 and y is in billions of dollars. a) What is slope of the graph of this function?b) Interpret the slope as a rate of change.

  b.   the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

step-by-step explanation:

since the length of the interval is the same in each case, we only need to compare the change in y-value to see which is greater.

so the change in y-value for function f is (6 )) = 9.

the table tells us

so the change in y-value for function g is (31 -1) = 30.

the change in y-value of f(x) on the interval is less than the change in y-value of g(x) on the same interval, so the average rate of change of f(x) is less than the average rate of change of g(x).

i have no clue at all sorry
