Answer:
The rate of change is -5
The initial value is 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, this is a linear relation
so, we can select any two points and find equation of line
points are (1,20) and (3,10)
so,


now, we can find slope

now, we can plug values


now, we can use point slope form of line

now, we can plug values

now, we can solve for y

we know that
slope is the rate of change
So, the rate of change is -5
For finding initial value , we can plug x=0 and find y


So, initial value is 25

So... none of your answers are correct. The correct answer is
21/2.
Let, the numbers are: x, (x+2), (x+4)
Now, x+x+2+x+4 = 183
3x + 6 = 183
3x = 177
x = 59
So, second number would be: (x+2) = (59+2) = 61
In short, Your Final answer would be 61
Hope this helps!
