The table represents linear Function F. The equation y = 4x + 2 represents Function G. Which statement is true?

• The rate of change of Function G is less than the rate of change Function F because 2 < 3

• The rate of change of Function G is less than the rate of change Function F because 4 < 9

• The rate of change of Function G is greater than the rate of change Function F because 2 > 9/7

• The rate of change of Function G is greater than the rate of change Function F because 4 > 3
