Question

What is the initial value of the equation shown? y = −7x − 6

Answer 1

`-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`

Answer 2

y = f(x)

initial value = x=0

F(0) = -7x-6

f(0) = -7(0) -6 = 0-6 = -6

answer is -6
