Question

Based on the graph, what is the initial value of the linear relationship?

Answer 1

The initial value of the linear relationship is 5.

Solution:

• The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses at y-axis.
• The initial value of the linear function is the y-intercept.

On observing the graph, the line crosses y-axis at the point (0, 5).

So, y-intercept = 5

That is initial value = 5

Therefore the initial value of the linear relationship is 5.
