To determine the rate of change, we need to find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,22) and (8,25).
First, calculate the change in y: 25 - 22 = 3
Next, calculate the change in x: 8 - 2 = 6
Now, we can calculate the rate of change (slope):
m = (change in y)/(change in x) = 3/6 = 0.5
Therefore, the rate of change is m= 0.5.
To find the initial value (y-intercept), we can substitute one of the points into the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b.
Using the point (2,22):
22 = 0.5(2) + b
22 = 1 + b
b = 21
Therefore, the initial value is b= 21.
