Question

What is the initial value of the equation shown?

y = −7x − 6

A. −13
B. −7
C. −6
D. −1

Answer 1

C. −6, is the best option

Answer 2

Option C
`-6`

Explanation:

we know that

The initial value is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero

The initial value is the y-intercept of the function

In this problem we have

`y=-7x-6` -----> equation of the line into slope intercept form

therefore

`m=-7` -----> the slope

`b=-6` ----> the y-intercept

The initial value is
`-6`
