Graph the line y=5x. Then graph the line y=x. Then look at them and describe in what ways they are the same or different.
To graph m ( x ) = 5 x and f ( x ) = x , create a table of values for both functions and plot the points on a graph, then draw the lines. The graphs intersect at the origin and differ in steepness, with m ( x ) being steeper than f ( x ) , which indicates that m ( x ) increases more rapidly. This exercise illustrates the concept of linear functions and their slopes.
