Answer 1

it depends on what you mean by 'initial value' .

Answer 2

\[y = mx + c\]

Where \(m\) is your slope, also known as your gradient.
Where \(c\) is your y-intercept, also your initial value.

Answer 3

for example if you call:
\[f(x)=-2x-5\]
your initial value is thevalue of f(x), at x=0, namely:
\[initial-value=f(x=0)=f(0)\]

Answer 4

@Algorithmic It's y = mx + b...

Answer 5

the answer would be y is equal to mx+b

Answer 6

y=mx+c


Where m is your slope, also known as your gradient.
Where c is your y-intercept, also your initial value.

Answer 7

Lol, copied.

Answer 8

@Michele_Laino explained the reasoning behind it, +1.

@AnswerMyQuestions the letter \(c\) is used nearly everywhere else in the world except in America, where you use \(b\).

Answer 9
