Answer:

g(x) has a greater slope

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of f(x)

we have

[tex]f(x)=2x-5[/tex]

This is a linear function in slope intercept form

[tex]f(x)=mx+b[/tex]

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

so

[tex]m=2[/tex]

step 2

Find the slope of g(x)

take two points from the table

(2,0) and (4,5)

[tex]m=(5-0)/(4-2)\\m=5/2=2.5[/tex]

step 3

Compare the slopes

[tex]2.5 > 2[/tex]

so

The slope of g(x) is greater than the slope of f(x)
