The "initial value" is the value where the line crosses the y-axis (5). This is the place where the independent variable (x) is zero, the starting place for that variable.
We are asked to find the initial value of the linear relationship. The given relationship is: A line passes through the x-axis at negative 3 and the y-axis at 5.
We know that the initial value of function is known as the y-intercept of a function. We know that y-intercept of a graph is the point, where line intersects or crosses y-axis.
Since we have been given that line passes through y-axis at 5, therefore, the initial value of the linear relationship is 5 and option "d" is the correct choice.
