We need to see the graph in order to help
The slope of the line is calculated using
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Substituting the given values
-8 - 27 / 5 - 0 = -7
The rate of change or the slope is -7
And the initial value is the value of y when x is 0. From the first coordinates, the initial value is 27.
I would have used graph b. Because it shows the decrease more than graph a.
Answer: 4236
Step-by-step explanation: I used a calculator. If it's wrong, tell your teacher/instructor.
