Identify the initial value and rate of change for the graph shown.

A coordinate plane graph is shown. A line is graphed that passes through the y-intercept at 4 and through the point 4 comma 1.

Initial value: 5.5, rate of change: negative 3 over 4.
Initial value: 4, rate of change: negative 3 over 4.
Initial value: negative 3 over 4., rate of change: 4
Initial value: negative 3 over 4., rate of change: 5.5

Initial value 4 rate of change is negative 3 over 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula to use: y2-y1  over x2-x1    initial value coordinate: 0,4               Crosses thru coordinate: 4,1 1 minus 4 and 4-0 gives you negative 3 over 4

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.

guess at question:

a vertical line intersects the graph of g(x,y) = 0 at two points. what conclusion follows about the function f(x) implicitly defined by g(x,f(x)) = 0?

the domain of f(x) cannot include the x coordinate of any such vertical line.

informally, f(x) is not a function, and

g(x,y)=0 cannot be solved for y uniquely.

the relation r = {(x,y) such that g(x,y) = 0} is a function if

for all (a,b) ∊ r and (c,d) ∊ r, a=c implies b=d.
