Question

Part a: what is the initial value of the function? what does it mean in the context of the situation?

part b: what is the rate of change of the function? what does it mean in the context of situation​

Answer 1

Initial value = 10, slope = 4

Explanation:

Initial value is the point where x takes its lowest value. In this case it is x = 0 and y = 10. Rate of change is the slope at a given point. Because this is a first order equation graph the slope is always the same. And in this case it is 4 as for every 1 unit of x the y goes 4.
