Question

Can someone please answer the problem in the picture?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rate of change is 6/7      Initial value: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope (which is the rate of change), use (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2).

x1 and y1 will be (0, 6)    

x2 and y2 will be (7, 0)

Note that x1 x2 y1 y2 can be any points on the line, I just chose these because they were x and y-intercepts.

(6 - 0)/(0 - 7)  =  6/7

The initial value is simply the y-intercept, which is 6.
