What is the initial value of the function represented by this graph?

We conclude that the initial value of the function is 6.

Hence, option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of the function can be determined by setting x = 0 and determining the corresponding y value.

In other words, the initial value is basically the y-intercept of the graph.

It is the output value when the input value x = 0.

Given the graph, it is clear that:

at x = 0, y = 6

Thus, at x = 0, the value of y is 6.

i.e. the y-intercept b = 6.

Therefore, we conclude that the initial value of the function is 6.

Hence, option D is correct.

6

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is the y-intercept or where the line crosses the y axis.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
