Answer:

Function A has the greater initial value because the initial value for Function A is 6 and the initial value for Function B is 3.

Explanation:

✔️Function A:

Initial value = y-intercept (b)

y-intercept is the value of y, when the corresponding value of x = 0

From the table, y = 6 when x = 0.

The y-intercept of function A = 6

Therefore, initial value for Function A = 6

✔️Function B:

y = 4x + 3 is given in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

b = y-intercept = initial value.

Therefore

Initial value for Function B = 3

✔️Function A has the greater initial value because the initial value for Function A is 6 and the initial value for Function B is 3.
