Question

tions - Part 1 A relation is plotted as a linear function on the coordinate plane starting at point E (0, 27)(0, 27) and ending at point F (5,−8)(5,−8) . What is the rate of change for the linear function and what is its initial value? Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statements. The rate of change for the linear function is and the initial value is

Answer 1

The initial value is -7 and the rate of change is 27

Explanation:

Answer 2

We are given with
E (0, 27)
F (5,−8)

and we are asked to get the rate of change and the initial value:

To get the rate of change, we simply have to use the slope formula:
m = (-8 - 27) / (5 - 0) = -7
The rate of change is -7

The initial value is the value of y when x is 0 which is the coordinates of E. So, the initial value is 27.
