Question

What is the initial value of the equation shown? y = −4x − 3

Answer 1

The initial value of this expression is -3 because the equation is y=mx+b
m=-4x
b=-3

Answer 2

The equation which is linear relation between x and y is:

y = -4 x -3

Comparing with Slope intercept form of line , which is

y = m x + c

Gives , →→Slope = m = -4

C = Y intercept = -3

As the equation provided here is equation of straight line, which has no end.

If values of x are provided we can find different values of y and vice versa that is for different values of y we can find different values of x.

For , x=0 gives , y= -3, this may be initial value.
