To determine the rate of change (m) and the initial value (b), we can use the formula for the equation of a line: y = mx + b.

First, we need to find the rate of change (m). To do this, we subtract the y values and divide by the difference in x values:

m = (25-22) / (8-2)
m = 3 / 6
m = 0.5

Next, we can use one of the points (2, 22) to find the initial value (b). Using the formula y = mx + b, we can substitute the slope (m=0.5), the x value (2), and the y value (22) into the equation:

22 = 0.5(2) + b
22 = 1 + b
b = 22 - 1
b = 21

Therefore, the rate of change is m = 0.5 and the initial value is b = 21.
