Answer:
[tex]\displaystyle less\:than \\ Line\:B: 1 \\ Line\:A: -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For Line B, starting from the y-intercept of [tex]\displaystyle [0, 2],[/tex]you do [tex]\displaystyle \frac{rise}{run}[/tex]by either moving one block south over one block west or one block north over one block east [west and south are negatives].
Now, for Line A, the rate of change [slope] is already given to you because in the Slope-Intercept Formula, [tex]\displaystyle y = mx + b,[/tex]the slope is represented by m, and the slope is −½.
So, the slope of Line A is [tex]\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2},[/tex]and since [tex]\displaystyle -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]is less than 1, less than would be your answer.
