Will mark as brianliest and give 20 points

what is the rate of change and initial value for the linear relation that includes the points shown in the table?

x y
1 10
2 8
3 6
4 4

initial value: 12, rate of change: −2
initial value: 8, rate of change: 2
initial value: 12, rate of change: 2
initial value 8, rate of change: −2

The initial value is the Y value when X = 0

In the table, as X increases by 1 unit, Y decreases by 2 units,

the rate of change would be -2.

This would also mean when x is 0, Y would be 12 ( initial value)

The correct answer is: Initial value: 12, rate of change: −2

(x3 + 6x2 + 2x - 6) • (x - 1)

step-by-step explanation:

polynomial long division :

3.2     polynomial long division

dividing :   x4+5x3-4x2-8x+6

                              ("dividend")

by         :     x-1     ("divisor")

dividend     x4   +   5x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * x3     x4   -   x3            

remainder         6x3   -   4x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 6x2         6x3   -   6x2        

remainder             2x2   -   8x   +   6

- divisor   * 2x1             2x2   -   2x    

remainder               -   6x   +   6

- divisor   * -6x0               -   6x   +   6

remainder                     0

quotient :   x3+6x2+2x-6   remainder:   0

the answer is ! ?
