To determine the initial value and the rate of change of a linear function from a graph, we typically look for the following:

  1. Initial Value: This is the value of the function when \(x = 0\), often represented as the \(y\)-intercept.
  2. Rate of Change: This corresponds to the slope of the line, calculated as the change in \(y\) divided by the change in \(x\) (rise over run).

If you can provide a description of the graph or the coordinates of two points on the line, I can assist you better in determining the initial value and the rate of change. Please share that information!
