Answer:
1) The initial value of the function is the y-value when the x-value is zero. The number of hours is the x-value and the percentage of battery life left is the y-value. When the number of hours, x, is 0, the percentage of remaining battery life, y, is 100 percent. So, the initial value of the function is 100. The initial value is positive because the percentage of remaining battery life cannot be negative.
2) The rate of change is the rate at which the y-value changes with respect to a change in the x-value. When off the charger, the phone loses its battery life at a constant rate of 5 percent per hour. So, the function’s rate of change is -5. The rate of change is negative because the rate indicates that the percentage of remaining battery life decreases as the number of hours increases.

30 and 13
x-y=17 and x+y=43
x=17+y and x=43-y, so 17+y=43-y
so y=13
43-13=30, so x=30 and y=13
Answer:
7,173
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Within the question it gives two examples.
x = 0 corresponds to 2000
x = 1 corresponds to 2001
If you pay close attention the x-value is always the same as the last digits in the year. So with 2007 the last digit is 7, which then leads us to determine that
x = 7
f (x) = -327 (7) + 9462
f (x) = -2289 + 9462 = 7173
