Answer 1

Answer:

Option 3 rd is correct

Initial value = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A equation of line is given by:

$y =mx+b$          ....[1]

where

m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept or the initial value

As per the statement:

A coordinate grid is shown with x and y axes labeled from 0 to 7 at increments of 1.

It is also given that:

A straight line joins the ordered pair (0, 2) with the ordered pair (7, 5)

Calculate slope:

using formula:

$\text{Slope (m)} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Substitute the given ordered pairs we have;

$\text{Slope (m)} = \frac{5-2}{7-0}=\frac{3}{7}$

y-intercept states that the graph which cut y-axis.

Substitute x =0 and solve for x:

we have given with the ordered pair (0, 2)

⇒y-intercept(b) = 2

Substitute the given values of m and b in [1]

$y = \frac{3}{7}x+2$

The equation of straight line  joins the ordered pair (0, 2) with the ordered pair (7, 5) is:

$y = \frac{3}{7}x+2$

The initial value of the function represented by the given graph as shown below is: 2

Answer 2

Answer:

The initial value of the graph is 2. Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A coordinate grid is shown with x and y axes labeled from 0 to 7 at increments of 1.

The line is passing through the points (0,2) and (7,5).

The point (0,2) is the y-intercept and graph labeled from 0 to 7, therefore 2 is the initial value.

Slope of line is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{5-2}{7-0}=\frac{3}{7}$

The equation of line is

$y=mx+b$

Where, m is slope and b is y-intercept. So the equation of given line is

$y=\frac{3}{7}x+2$

At initial condition the value of x is 0. So, put x=0.

$y=\frac{3}{7}(0)+2=2$

Therefore the initial value of the graph is 2. Option 3 is correct.
