I assume by starting value, you mean y-intercept. The y-intercept is 15
To find this, we need to use slope intercept form and the given information to find it.
y = mx + b ----> plug in the known values
9 = -3/4(8) + b
9 = -6 + b
15 = b
Therefore, the starting value is 15.
5x-2+3x=17+12x-23 combine like terms
8x-2=12x-6
-8x -8x
-2=4x-6
+6 +6
4=4x divide each side by 4
x=1
Domain is X and Range is Y. So the range will be all the Y's which is the second answer
