Answer 1

I don't see the table of values — I need those x,y pairs to find the slope and initial value. Please paste the table.

How I'll find the answer once you give it:
- Rate of change (m) = (change in y) / (change in x) = (y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1) using any two different rows.
- Initial value (b) is the y-value when x = 0. If x = 0 isn't in the table, compute b from y = mx + b rearranged: b = y − m x using any row.

Send the table and I'll pick which multiple-choice option is correct.
