Identify the initial value and rate of change for the graph shown A coordinate plane is shown. A line passes through the y-axis at 2 and passes through the point 2 comma 4. Initial value: 1, rate of change: 2 Initial value: 2, rate of change: 1 over 2. Initial value: 2, rate of change: 1 Initial value: 1 over 2., rate of change: 2

you have studied this before and read the tutorial link i sent, yeah? because the last 5 questions you've posted on the same topic seem to indicate that you're only really after the answers to the questions... rather than how to solve them, s'all...?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

no im not

@Rushwr i like how she helps me we are cool but i just like how she help me

OpenStudy (jack1):

ok, so we're doing the same as the other questions, just in reverse this time, cool? so as previously discussed, the rate of change /gradient/slope is calculated using which equation?

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

ok

OpenStudy (jack1):

better yet, pick 2 points from your graph which will make it easy to work with so point 1 = (x1,y1) and point 2 = (x2,y2) so what points will be easy for this one?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

look at your graph...the initial value....it starts at 2...can you see that ? That eliminates 2 answer choices

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

now pick 2 sets of points on your line....like jack said...and find the slope by using the slope formula : slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

OpenStudy (nuccioreggie):

ok @texaschic101 that leaves us with the only answer that makes since C

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

that is correct
