Question

Given the linear equation, 2x +4= 6, find the rate, initial value, and specific value.

A. The rate is x, the initial value is 2, and the specific value is 6.
B. The rate is 2, the initial value is 4, and the specific value is 6.
C. The rate is 4, the initial value is 2, and the specific value is x.
D. The rate is 2, the initial value is 6, and the specific value is x.

Answer 1

The answer is: The rate is 2, the initial value is 4, and the specific value is 6.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: B. The rate is 2, the initial value is 4, and the specific value is 6.

Explanation:

for a linear function y = a*x + b

Rate = coefficient that is multiplicating the variable. ( a in this case)

Initial value = value taken of y, when we have x = 0 (b in this case)

Specific value = value forced on y.

In this case, we have:

y = 6 = 2*x + 4

Then:

The coefficient multiplicating x is 2, so the rate is 2.

The constant term is 4, so the initial value is 4.

The value equal to y is 6, so the specific value is 6.

The correct option is B.
