Bryan was given the equation y= -5x+3. he says the rate of change is 3 and the initial value is -5. is bryan correct? if not, correct his error.

Correct rate of change is -5; correct initial value is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the coefficient of the x term, which here is -5.  So Bryan has the rate of change wrong.

The initial value of the function is found by letting x  =  0.  Here, we get

y = -5(0) + 3, or y = b = 3.  The initial value is 3, not -5.

table a is wierd

step-by-step explanation:

6*f

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
