James has $32 and earns $10 per week for his allowance. What is the initial value for the scenario described?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Initial is what you start with. What does he have already before adding his weekly allowance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathstudent55

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it just 32?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One more question please? @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Identify the initial value and rate of change for the graph shown (4 points) Initial value: 1, rate of change Initial value: , rate of change: 0 Initial value: 1, rate of change Initial value: , rate of change: 0

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The initial value is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The rate of change is the slope of the line.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it A?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A lot of the info is missing from your choices. The initial value is definitely 1.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What are the slopes of choices A and C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry Initial value: 1, rate of change 3/5 Initial value: 3/5 , rate of change: 0 Initial value: 1, rate of change Initial value: 5/3 , rate of change: 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and c is 1 and 5/3

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok, just one more thing. What is the rate of change in choice C?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Oh, I see it now.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Let's find the slope.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Pick any two points on the graph. Pick easy points to read where the line passes through grid intersections.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,4?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Where the line crosses the y-axis is a good point. What are the coordinates of that point?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1436814894788:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Notice the point marked on the graph.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

It is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. From the origin (the point where the x-and y-axes intersect), how far right or left do you go to that point?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1436815025478:dw|
