Answer:
Part 1) The rate of change is
Part 2) The initial value is 68
Part 3) The function rule to the linear model is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope or unit rate
b is the y-intercept or initial value
step 1
Find the slope
take two points from the table
(0,68) and (15,85)
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute the values
In a linear function , the slope is the same that the rate of change
therefore
The rate of change is
step 2
Find the y-intercept
we know that
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
Looking at the table
For x=0, y=68
therefore
The y-intercept is
The y-intercept is also called the initial value
therefore
The initial value is 68
step 3
Determine the function rule to the linear model

we have
substitute

I think it’s b cos u minus 43 and your left with 48x and 47x so divide by 47 and you get 1 point something x = to x so yeah probably none because no number will make that work so it’s b
Answer: The value of m is 29.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that, One term of
is
...(i)
We know that that (r+1)th term in
is given by :-
...(ii)
On comparing (i) with (ii) , we get

i.e.

Hence, the value of m is 29.
