y=2x+15

Possible Answers:

$\textup{Equation, }4$

$\textup{Table, }3$

$\textup{Equation, }2$

$\textup{Table, }2$

Correct answer:

$\textup{Table, }3$

Explanation:

The rate of change is also known as the slope. As we have learned we can use the following equation to solve for the slope of the table:

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

An input/output table displays sets of ordered pairs. The input column represents the x-values and the output column represents the y-values. We can select two sets of ordered pairs from the table to solve for the slope:

$\frac{12-3}{4-1}=\frac{9}{3}=3$

The slope for our table is

In order to determine the slope of the equation, we need to make sure the equation is in slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

In this equation, the variables and are defined as the following:

$\textup{m=slope}$

$\textup{b=y-intercept}$

The given formula for this problem was provided in slope-intercept form; thus, the slope for the equation is

The function with the greatest rate of change will possess the greatest slope. In this case, the greater slope is , which was displayed in the function written in table form; thus, the following answer is correct:

$\textup{Table, }3$
