Question

What is the initial value of the equation shown? y = −4x − 3 −4 −3 3 4

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

The initial value of an equation is when x=0

y = −4x − 3

Let x =0

y = -4(0) -3

y = 0-3

y=-3

The initial value is -3

Answer 2

The initial value is when Y equals when x is 0.

Replace x with 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Y = -4x -3

y = -4(0) - 3

y = 0-3

y = -3
