Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
The initial value is the y-intercept, or it's like the starting point.
If the equation has an initial value of 10, b = 10
Your answer is the 2nd option because the y-intercept is 10
