The number of acres in the National Park system has grown from 78.1 million acres in 2000 to 85.77 million acres in 2013. Let y represent the number of acres, in millions, in the system and x the number of years after 2000. Find a linear equation that fits the data.

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x): x f(x) −1 −5 0 −1 1 3 g(x) g(x) = 2x − 7 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). (6 points) part b: which function has a greater y-intercept? justify your answer. (4 points)
