Answer 1

The answer is 2

Explanation:

I’m taking the test right now lol

Answer 2

The initial value is the y-intercept, which is our letter b in the form y = mx + b.

1. Find slope.

m = (0 - 2)/(5 - 0)

m = -2/5

2. Plug one of the given points and the slope into the point-slope formula.

I will use (5, 0).

y - 0 = (-2/5)(x - 5)

y = (-2/5)(x) + 2

The initial value is 2.
