The table represents the linear function f(x), and the equation represents the linear function g(x). Compare the y-intercepts and slopes of the linear functions f(x) and g(x) and choose the answer that best describes them. x f(x) 0 1 2 9 4 17 g(x) = 3x + 1 a The slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x). b The slope of f(x) is less than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is greater than the y-intercept of g(x). c The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is equal to the y-intercept of g(x). d The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). The y-intercept of f(x) is greater than the y-intercept of g(x).
