Question

Find the initial value of the linear function.
y = 4x + 3

Answer 1

y = 3

x = -3/4

Explanation:

To get the initial value, we will make:

x = 0

y = 0

Then solve for the corresponding value of either x and y

Okay then, from the expression

y = 4x + 3

When x=0

y = 4 (0) + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 3

When y=0

y = 4x + 3

0 = 4x + 3

4x = -3

x = -3/4

The initial value of the Linear function =

y = 3

x = -3/4
