Answer:

B. g(x) has a greater slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept of an equation of a line:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

=========================================

[tex]f(x)=2x-5\to m=2[/tex]

From the table of function g(x) we have:

x = 2 → y = 0

x = 4 → y = 5

Calculate the slope:

[tex]m=\dfrac{5-0}{4-2}=\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5[/tex]

The slope of f(x) is equal to 2.

The slope of g(x) is equal to 2.5.

2 < 2.5

Answer:

B. g(x) has a greater slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) =2x-5 and g(x), g(x) has a greater slope.

f(x) = 2

g(x) = 2.5
