Answer:

Function 2 has a greater rate of change

Step-by-step explanation:

Function 1:

Number of Weeks (x)               1     2      3     4

Amount Remaining (dollars) (y) 40   36    32   28

We can find the slope by using

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

  = (40-36)/ (1-2)

  = 4/-1

 = -4


Function 2:

y = −5x + 40


Using y = mx+b

The slope is -5


Function 2 has a greater rate of change

Answer:

Function 2, because Steve spends $5 each week and Ada spends $4 each week
