The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

x f(x)
−1 −5 g(x)
0 −1 g(x) = 4x + 3
1 3

part a: write a sentence to compare the slope of the two functions and show the steps you used to determine the slope of f(x) and g(x).

part b: which function has a greater y-intercept? justify your answer.

Part A: using the slope formula, y1-y2/x1-x2, plug in two points, so i did 
3-(-1)/1-0, which then equals 4/1 which equals 4, and g(x) also has a slope of 4. So, the slopes in both functions are equal.

Part B: g(x) has a a greater y-intercept.
y=mx+b where b is the y-intercept and in the equation g(x)=4x+3, b=3 which makes 3 the y-intercept. Now, for the other function, the y-intercept is when x=0, and when x=0, f(x) (or y) equals -1 and 3>-1 so g(x) has the greater y-intercept.

Okay so n is going to represent our first number. since the second number of five times greater than n, the second number will be represented as 5n. for us to figure out the two  numbers we need to have  the value of n first. this is going to be done by adding the two numbers together, n and 5n. it can be simplified as 6n, which the problem states is equal to 72. divide 72 by 6n and you can solve for n.  n+5n=726n=72n=(72/6)n=12  now that we know the value of n, we have to multiply 5 times 12 which equals 60. so our two numbers/integers are 12 and 60
