The table shows several (x, y) values for a certain linear function.

Question

What is the initial value of the linear function represented in the table?
-2
3
4
6

Answer 1

To determine the initial value (or y-intercept) of a linear function from a table of (x, y) values, you look for the value of \(y\) when \(x = 0\).

If the table does not include \(x = 0\), you can use two (x, y) values from the table to calculate the slope and then derive the y-intercept.

However, since you haven't provided the actual table of (x, y) values, I can’t calculate the y-intercept from the data given.

If you have the table, please provide the (x, y) values, and I'll help you find the initial value of the function.
