The equation below represents function a and the graph represents function b:

function a

f(x) = – 2x + 1

function b

graph of line going through ordered pairs negative 1, negative 5 and 2, 1 and 3, 3

which equation best compares the slopes of the two functions? (1 point)

slope of function b = 2 x slope of function a.

slope of function a = slope of function b

slope of function a = 2 x slope of function b

slope of function b = – slope of function a

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the right answer we need to calcultate the slope of each function.

Function A is  

From its expression we can deduct that its slope is because the function is expressed in slope-intercept form where the coefficient of the x is the slope.

Now, function B is defined with a graph line, that intercepts points (-1,-5), (2,1) and (3,3). Using this points we can find its slope using the formula

So, function A has a slope of -2 and function B has a slope of 2.

Therefore, the last choice compares both slopes, because they are just opposite,

So, the answer is

Slope of Function B = -Slope of Function A

anser is a

step-by-step explanation:

negitive slope
