The rate of change of two functions are being compared. One function, f(x) is represented by the equation

f(x) = -5x – 1, while the other function, g(x)

is represented in the table.

Which is true?

• The rate of change for f(x) is less than the rate of change for g(x).

• The rate of change for g(x) is less than the rate of change for f(x).

• The rate of change for f(x) and g(x) are equal.

• The rates of change cannot be compared because f(x) is a linear function and g(x) is an exponential function.

The graph of a linear function is shown in the coordinate plane. What is the rate of change in y per unit change in x for this linear function?

• -5

• -2.5

• -2

• -0.4
