Thats hard bro hopefully somebody helps you figure it out
Answer:
The initial value is 29.5
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope
b is the y-intercept ( also called initial value)
we have the points
(3,42.25) and (5,50.75)
Find the slope m
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to
substitute the values
substitute in the equation

<em>Find the value of b</em>
with the point (3,42.25) ( or the other given point)
substitute the value of x and the value of y in the equation and solve for b




substitute
The linear equation is

The initial value is the y-intercept (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)
For x=0


Therefore
The initial value is 29.5
Answer:
f(-3)= -8
f(2) = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation x ≤ 0 means that if the variable x, or in our case, -3, is less than or equal to 0, the answer will be calculated into the equation.
3(-3) + 1 = -8
The bottom equation x ≥ 2 means that if the variable, x, or in our case, 2 is more than or equal to 2, the answer is 4. Since 2 is equal to 2, the answer would then be 4.
