7pointsthe graph represents function 1 and the equation represents function 2: a graph with numbers 0 to 4 on the x-axis and y-axis at increments of 1. a horizontal straight line is drawn joining the ordered pairs 0, 3 and 4, 3. function 2 y = 5x + 1 how much more is the rate of change of function 2 than the rate of change of function 1? 5 6 7 8

The correct answer is 5. This is because rate of change of a function or a line is its gradient. As we can see that the line is horizontal then the gradient must be equal to zero too.

On the other hand the equation is written in the form of y = mx + c where m is the gradient or slope and c is the y intercept so the gradient is equal to 5 if we match the places. So it is 5 times greater.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
