Answer:
(a) and (f)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]y = 5x + 12[/tex]
See attachment for table and options
First, we calculate the slope of the table
[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]
Using:
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (2,29)[/tex]
[tex](x_1,y_1) = (4,53)\\[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]m = \frac{53- 29}{4 - 2}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{24}{2}[/tex]
[tex]m = 12[/tex]
The equation is then calculated using:
[tex]y = m(x -x_1) + y_1[/tex]
This gives:
[tex]y = 12*(x -2) + 29[/tex]
[tex]y = 12x -24 + 29[/tex]
[tex]y = 12x+5[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y = 5x + 12[/tex] --- The given equation
and
[tex]y = 12x+5[/tex] --- The equation of the table
An equation is represented as:
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
Where:
m = slope or rate of change
b = y intercept
So, for the given equation: [tex]y = 5x + 12[/tex]
Rate of change = 5
y intercept = 12
For the table: [tex]y = 12x+5[/tex]
Rate of change = 12
y intercept = 5
In conclusion:
(a) [tex]y = 12x+5[/tex] has the greater rate of change:
and
(f) [tex]y = 5x + 12[/tex] has the greater y intercept
