Answer:
Lol this is my first time seeing someone saying I bet no one will answer this. Ok coming back to the topic answers are :-
Initial value = -18
Initial value is the output value or the y variable. Looking in the table the y variable is -18 since x is 0.
Rate of change = 0.5
You have to use the formula of rate of change to find the answer. You can choose any pairs from the table and will give you the same answer. I pick the first pair and the last pair to find my rate of change.
(0, -18) and (36, 0)
x1, y1 x2, y2
Rate of change = y2 - y 1 / x2 - x1
Rate of change = 0 - (-18) / 36 - 0
Rate of change = 18 / 36
Rate of change = 0.5
Hope this helps, thank you :) !!
