To determine the initial value and rate of change of the linear function, we need to use two points (-3,2.5) and (0,1).

The initial value, also known as the y-intercept, is the value of y when x=0. Looking at the point (0,1), we can see that when x=0, y=1. Therefore, the initial value is 1.

The rate of change, also known as the slope, is determined by the change in y divided by the change in x. Using the two points, we can calculate the change in y and change in x:

Change in y = y2 - y1 = 1 - 2.5 = -1.5
Change in x = x2 - x1 = 0 - (-3) = 3

Therefore, the rate of change is -1.5/3 = -0.5.

So, the initial value is 1 and the rate of change is -0.5.
