Question

Determine the rate of change and the initial value of the function, f(x)=2/3x-2.

-the rate of change is 3 and the initial value is -2
-the rate of change is -2 and the initial value is 3
-the rate f change is -2 and the initial value is 2/3
-the rate of change is 2/3 and the intial value is -2

Answer 1

This function can also be seen as an equation in slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
In this case, the y-intercept can also be considered the initial value of the function. :)
Slope also means rate of change.

Answer 2

ahemm
hint: rate of change = slope
initial value = y-intercept

check slope-intercept form
