To determine the initial value and rate of change of the linear function, we need to find the equation of the line passing through the points (-3,4) and (6,1).
Finding the slope:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = (1 - 4) / (6 - (-3))
m = (-3) / 9
m = -1/3
Now that we have the slope, we can use the point-slope form of a linear equation to find the equation of the line:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
Taking one of the points, let's use (-3,4):
y - 4 = (-1/3)(x - (-3))
y - 4 = (-1/3)(x + 3)
y - 4 = (-1/3)x - 1
y = (-1/3)x + 3
The initial value is 3, and the rate of change is -1/3.
