Question

Given the linear equation, 2x +4= 6, find the rate, initial value, and specific value.

Answer 1

Answer: B. The rate is 2, the initial value is 4, and the specific value is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

for a linear function y = a*x + b

Rate = coefficient that is multiplicating the variable. ( a in this case)

Initial value = value taken of y, when we have x = 0 (b in this case)

Specific value = value forced on y.

In this case, we have:

y = 6 = 2*x + 4

Then:

The coefficient multiplicating x is 2, so the rate is 2.

The constant term is 4, so the initial value is 4.

The value equal to y is 6, so the specific value is 6.

The correct option is B.
