We want to check if function A has a greater initial value than function B. We will see that Emma is incorrect, the correct option is the third one.
Linear equations:
A general linear equation is written as:
y = a*x + b
Where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept (we can also call the y-intercept as the initial value).
For function A we can see that the initial value is y = -2
While for function B we need to find it, but by looking at the table, we can see that for each increase of 2 units in the x-variable we have an increase of one unit on the y-variable.
Then we can see that for x = 0, we would have y = 1.
Meaning that the initial value of function B is y = 1, which is greater than the one for function A.
Then Emma is incorrect, the correct option is the third one.
