Answer:

Answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change of function A is (24- 21)/ 1 = (17-24)/1 = 3.

Rate of change of function B = slope of the line = rise/run = 4/2

= 2

Answer:

C. The rate of change of function A is greater than the rate of change of function B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given are two functions A and B.

A is given in table form and B in graph.

From the table for A we find that y =3x i.e. rate of change of y with respect to x =3

Table B graph shows the points as (2,4) (3,6) and (4,8) thus we find y =2x

Rate of change =2

C. The rate of change of function A is greater than the rate of change of function B

is correct.
