Some carpet cleaning costs are shown in the table. the relationship is linear. find and interpret the rate of change and the intial value for this situation.

If the relationship is linear, then an increase in the y-component would also increase the value of the x-component and vice versa. It would have the form of y=mx + b where m is the rate of change or the slope and b the y-intercept or the initial value for this situation. Hope this answers the question.
