Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $6 each month and Sandra spends $5 each month. Function 2 shows a greater rate of change because Jenny spends $50 each month and Sandra spends $15 each month. Function 1 shows a greater rate of change because Sandra spends $15 each month and Jenny spends $44 each month. Function 1 shows a greater rate of change because Sandra spends $5 each month and Jenny spends - $6 each month.
