Compare the initial values and the rates of change.

• The functions have different initial values and different rates of change.

• The rates of change are the same, but the initial values are different.

• The functions have the same initial value, but the rates of change differ.

• The y-intercepts are the same, but the rates of change differ.

The graph represents gasoline consumption when driving a certain distance in km.  What is the meaning of the slope?

• The tank started with 50 L of gasoline
