To determine the initial value of the linear function, we can use the point (0,1) which lies on the graph. The initial value is where the line intersects the y-axis, which is the y-coordinate of the point (0,1). Therefore, the initial value is 1.
Next, we can use the points (0,1) and (2,0) to determine the rate of change of the linear function, which is also known as the slope. The slope can be calculated using the formula:
slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
slope = (0 - 1) / (2 - 0)
slope = -1 / 2
Therefore, the rate of change of the linear function is -1/2.
Determine the initial value and the rate of change of the linear function given in the graph.
On the graph is a line with the points (-3.25), (0,1) and (2,0)
