Let's analyze the question.

Function A is given as $y = x - 4$.
This is in slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$, where $m$ is the slope. For Function A, the slope ($m$) is 1.

For Function B, let's calculate the slope using the graph. The slope is the rise over the run:

• From the graph, one point on Function B is $(-2, -10)$ and another is $(2, 10)$.
• Rise = $10 - (-10) = 20$, and Run = $2 - (-2) = 4$.
• Slope = $\frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \frac{20}{4} = 5$.

Thus:

• The slope of Function A is 1.
• The slope of Function B is 5.

Correct Answer:

The slope of Function A is less than the slope of Function B.

1. How do you find the slope of a line from two points?
2. What is the y-intercept of Function A?
3. How do you determine if two lines are parallel?
4. Can you write the equation of Function B in slope-intercept form?
5. How do you calculate the slope of a vertical or horizontal line?

Tip: Always remember, the slope is calculated as the ratio of vertical change (rise) to horizontal change (run).
