Question

What is the rate of change and initial value for the linear relation that includes the

Answer 1

Answer:

The initial value of the function is 25 and the rate of change is - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table gives the ordered pairs of linear relation and they are (1,20) and (3,10).

Now, the equation of the linear relation that includes those ordered pairs will be  

$\frac{y - 10}{10 - 20} = \frac{x - 3}{3 - 1}$

⇒ y - 10 = - 5(x - 3)

⇒ y - 10 = - 5x + 15

⇒ y = - 5x + 25

Therefore, the initial value of the function is 25 and the rate of change is - 5. (Answer)
