Two functions are described below.

- Function A: A taxi driver charges customers a base amount of $3.00 and also an amount of $2.00 per mile, x, for a total charge, y, to a customer.

- Function B: The equation y = 3x + 2 represents the relationship between the number of miles, x, a taxi travels and the total charge, y, to a customer.

Which statement correctly compares the relationship between Function A and Function B?

• Function A has both a greater rate of change and a greater initial value.

• Function B has both a greater rate of change and a greater initial value.

• Function A has a greater rate of change than Function B, but the initial value for Function A is less than the initial value for Function B.

• Function B has a greater rate of change than Function A, but the initial value for Function B is less than the initial value for Function A.
