Comparing Functions

In this task, you will use the linear data from Task 1 to compare the linear functions.

Part A

To compare the linear functions, you first need to find their equations.For each of the linear functions, put down an equation to represent the puppy's weight in terms of the number of weeks since the person got the puppy.

Part B

Now you can compare the functions.In each equation, what do the slope andy-intercept represent in terms of the situation?

Part C

Whose puppy weighed the most when the person got it?How much did it weigh?

Part D

Whose puppy gained weight the slowest?How much did it gain per week?

Part E

You can also graph the functions to compare them.Go to your math tools and open the Graph tool to graph the two linear functions.To make a graph, select the linear relationship and then enter values for the variables.Paste a screenshot of the two functions in the space provided.How could you find which puppy had the greater initial weight from the graph?How could you find which puppy gained weight the slowest?

Please help and tell me how to solve these problems
