Answer:
The slope of the function graphed is less than the linear function that has an x-intercept of 1 and a y-intercept of -2.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that x-intercept is 1 and y-intercept is -2.
Now, the coordinate of the point is (1,0) and (0,-2).
We know that,
Slope = [tex]\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]S_1=\dfrac{-2-0}{0-1}[/tex]
[tex]S_1 = \dfrac{-2}{-1}[/tex]
[tex]S_1=2[/tex]
Now, Slope of the graph given
Co-ordinate is (-5,0) and (1,2).
Using the formula of slope
[tex]S_2 = \dfrac{2-0}{1-(-1)}[/tex]
[tex]S_2 = \dfrac{2}{1+1}[/tex]
[tex]S_2 = \dfrac{2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]S_2 =1[/tex]
Now, [tex]S_1>S_2[/tex]
Hence, the slope of function graphed is less than linear function that has an x-intercept of 1 and a y-intercept of -2.
