Answer 1

Hello there.

A relation is plotted as a linear function on the coordinate plane starting at point e (0, 27)(0, 27) and ending at point f (5,−8)(5,−8) .what is the rate of change for the linear function and what is its initial value?

27

Answer 2

The slope of the line is calculated using
y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
Substituting the given values
-8 - 27 / 5 - 0 = -7
The rate of change or the slope is -7
And the initial value is the value of y when x is 0. From the first coordinates, the initial value is 27.
