To determine the initial value of the sequence based on the description of the coordinate plane and curve, it appears that the curve passes through marked points at specific coordinates.
Since the initial value typically refers to the y-coordinate when x is equal to 0 (the y-intercept), check where the curve intersects the y-axis.
If I were to guess based on typical plotted curves, the options given suggest possible values at the y-axis (0, 1, 2, or 0.5). Without the visual aid, I cannot provide the exact answer, but you would look for the y-coordinate where the curve crosses the y-axis (x = 0) in the image provided.
If the curve, based on your description, intersects at 0, 1, 2, or 0.5 on the y-axis, that would be the initial value of the sequence. If you recall where the curve crossed the y-axis, that will give you the correct answer from the four options provided.
