Question

(there is no graph)

Relationship 1 has an initial value of 5 and a rate of change of 3/2. Relationship 2 has a rate of change of 5/6. Explain how to find what the initial value of Relationship 2 needs to be for it to have an output of 50 with the exact same input as Relationship 1.

Answer 1

Hello and Welcome :)

do you think you can put these equations into formats such as y = mx + b?

for example,
m = rate of change
b = initial value
y = output
x = input

so for Relationship 2,
output = y = 50
rate of change = m = 5/6
so we would write
50 = (5/6)x + b

does this make sense?

Answer 2

ha, not at all. I suck at math... I can try though
