Question

Based on the graph, what is the initial value of the linear relationship? A coordinate plane is shown. A line passes through the y axis at 4 and the x axis at 5.

A. negative four over five
B. 0
C. 4
D. 5

Answer 1

The y-intercept is the initial value of a linear equation.  So if the graph crosses the y axis at 4, the initial value is 4.

Answer 2

Option: C is the correct answer.

C. 4

Explanation:

The initial value of a linear function or an linear equation is the y-intercept of the function which is also known as the value of y i.e. the output value where the input value i.e. the value of x is zero.

As we are given that the line passes through the y-axis at 4 this means that the y-intercept of the given linear graph is (0,4).

Hence, the initial value of the given linear relationship is:

4
