took the quiz on edge.

Answer 2

B) The initial value is 22, and the rate of change is 15.

Explanation:

The first point is located at (22, 54). This means the initial value is 22.

The rate of change is found using the formula

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

Using the first two points, we have

`m=(69-54)/(37-22)\\\\=(15)/(15)=1`
