Question

What is the initial value.

Answer 1

The initial value of the of the function represented on the graph is 2.

The initial value of the graph would be the value of the y - intercept of the graph. The y-intercept is the value of x when x = 0.

From the graph, we have the point ;

• (0, 2)

The value of the y -intercept of the graph is 2. Therefore, the initial value of the function is 2.

Answer 2

The function shown in the graph is a linear function, for a given linear function, the initial value is obtained at y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where the graph cuts the y-axis. At this point the value of x is zero. Thus from the graph given, the point x=0 at y=2, hence the initial value is y=2.
Answer: y=2
