Subtract the given functions and indicate the domain difference

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains the mathematical expressions for two functions:
1. \( f(x) = 7x - 8 \)
2. \( g(x) = -11x - 3 \)
These functions are linear equations, where \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) represent the dependent variable, and \( x \) is the independent variable.
In \( f(x) = 7x - 8 \):
- The slope is 7, indicating that for every increase of 1 in \( x \), \( f(x) \) increases by 7.
- The y-intercept is -8, meaning the graph crosses the y-axis at (0, -8).
In \( g(x) = -11x - 3 \):
- The slope is -11, showing that for every increase of 1 in \( x \), \( g(x) \) decreases by 11.
- The y-intercept is -3, meaning the graph crosses the y-axis at (0, -3).
These equations can be graphed as straight lines on a coordinate plane. The slope determines the angle of the line, and the y-intercept provides the starting point on the y-axis.
