Answer 1

I can't see the line from your description. Could you either upload the graph image or tell me the coordinates of two clear points on the line (or the y‑intercept and one other point)?

To find the answers once you give two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2):

- Rate of change (slope) m = (y2 − y1) / (x2 − x1).
- Initial value (y‑intercept) b: either read b as the y value where x = 0 on the graph, or compute b = y1 − m·x1 (using one of the points).

If you give two points now I will compute the slope and the initial value for you.
