Question

What is the initial value & rate of change of the table

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 10

rate of change = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is the beginning output value, i.e. the y-value when x = 0

Therefore, the initial value is y = 10

rate of change = change in y ÷ change in x

⇒ rate of change = (40 - 30) ÷ (6 - 4)

                            = 10 ÷ 2

                            = 5

Answer 2

take two points : (0, 10), (2, 20)

rate of change:

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{20-10}{2-0}$

$\rightarrow \sf 5$

equation :

y - 10 = 5 ( x - 0 )

y = 5(x) + 10

so initial value:

y = 5(0) + 10

y = 10
