Respuesta :

The initial value at distance = 0 is 3.5

For the rate of change, let's take the following points in the graph:

(0 ,3.5)

(1,6)

[tex]\text{rate of change = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{6-3.5}{1-0}=\frac{2.5}{1}=2.5[/tex]

For the equation of the line, let's take the y-intercept [b = 3.5] (0 ,3.5) and the slope [m] 2.5 ( the rate of change is the slope).

y = mx + b

y = 2.5x + 3.5

y = 3.5 + 2.5x

Answers:

Initial value = 3.5

rate of change = 2.5

y = 3.5 + 2.5x
