Find the initial value of the linear function, given that the rate of change is m = - 4/7 and (14, 3) is an
(x, y) value of the linear function. (1 point)
0 b= 15.71
0 b =-5
О b = 12.29
0b= 11
The formula for a linear function is y = mx + b, where m is the rate of change (slope) and b is the initial value (y-intercept).
Given that m = -4/7 and (x, y) = (14, 3), we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for b.
3 = (-4/7)(14) + b
3 = -8 + b
b = 11
Therefore, the initial value of the linear function is b = 11.
