Question

Bryan was given the equation y = -5x + 3. He says the rate of change is 3 and initial value is -5. Is Bryan correct?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bryan was NOT Correct, for he swapped the values.

For the given equation, rate of change is -5 and initial value is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -5x + 3.

When linear equation is in the form of y = mx + c, m is the slope or the rate of change, and c is the Y-axis intercept, or value of y when x is zero, or initial value.

Therefore, for the given equation, rate of change is -5 and initial value is 3.

So, Bryan was NOT Correct, for he swapped the values.

Answer 2

Answer: Bryan is INCORRECT
