Question

A relation is plotted as a linear function on the coordinate plane starting at point a (0, 3) and ending at point B (2, 7) what is the rate of change for the linear function and what is its intial value

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of change is 2.

The initial value is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the slope of the line, which you can calculate with the following formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Then:

$m=\frac{7-3}{2-0}=2$

Therefore, the rate of change is 2

The initial value is the value of y obtained when x=0.

As you can see in the given points, when x=0  the value of y is 3.

Therefore the initial value is 3.
