The initial output value of a graph representing a car traveling over time typically corresponds to the position of the car at the start of the time interval, which is usually when time (t) is equal to zero. If the car starts from rest at a specific location, the output value would be the distance at that point in time.
If the car begins at rest from the starting point (0 miles), then the initial output value would be 0 miles. If the car starts from a different position, such as 1 mile down the road, you would select that value instead.
Given your options, if we're assuming the car starts from rest at the origin, the initial output value would be 0 miles.
