The rate of change, or slope, is the change in y over change in x. To find the slope, pick two points. The slope will be the change in y-coordinates over the change in x-coordinates.
As an equation, this is


To find the slope for function 1, pick any two points (x,y) in the table.
Let's choose (-1, 3) and (-2, 5).
The slope is 
.

Let's choose (-1, 0) and (0, 4) for the two points for function 2.
The slope is
.

You want to compare the magnitude (without negatives)  of the slope when comparing the greater rate of change/slope. In other words, you take the absolute value of each slope.
The magnitude of function 1's slope is 2.
The magnitude of function 2's slope is 4.

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
