Answer:

5 is the initial value

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we can see that the values of y are increasing by 4

Lets use two points and find out slope

[tex]slope = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

we use points (0,5) (1,9)

[tex]slope = \frac{9-5}{1-0}=4[/tex]

slope m= 5

Now we use y=mx+b equation

m= slope and b= y intercept, plug in (0,5)  and find out b

y=4x+b

5= 4(0) +b

so b= 5

b=5 is the initial value of the function



Answer:

5 is the initial value

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we can see that the values of y are increasing by 4

Lets use two points and find out slope

formula of slope

slope=m=[tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

putting points (0,5) (1,9) in equation of slope

m=[tex]\frac{9-5}{1-0}[/tex]

slope m= 4

we know y=mx+b

m= slope and b= y intercept, plug in (0,5)  and find out b

b=?

x=0

m=4

y=5

putting these values in y=mx+b

y=4x+b

5= 4(0) +b

so b= 5

b=5 is the initial value of the function
