The initial value of the function can be determined by looking at the y-intercept, which is the value of the function when x=0. In this case, the y-intercept is -4.

The rate of change of the function can be determined by calculating the slope of the line between two points on the graph. In this case, the rate of change is rise 3 divided by run 1, which simplifies to a rate of change of 3.

Therefore, the initial value of the function is -4 and the rate of change is 3.
