Question

Tiffany has a job at the Best Bite Restaurant making $8 per hour. She earned $25 for the training shift. Find the rate of change and initial value. Write an equation.​

Answer 1

Initial value: $25; Rate of change: 48; Equation: y= 8x + 25

Explanation:

The initial value would be the $25 due to the fact that that's how much money she made during training. After that, her money will go up by $8 for every hour she works for, which is why that's the rate of change.

The equation just restates all that, the rate of change is always represented by the mx in the equation (8 replaces the m), and 25 replaces the b, the start of the line, or on a graph, where the initial dot would be on the y-axis.

Hope this helped!
