Determine the Rate of Change and Initial Value

Compare the initial values of each function.

• The initial value of item I is greater than the initial value of item II.

• The initial value of item I is equal to the initial value of item II.

• The initial value of item II is greater than the initial value of item I.

The bait and tackle shop rents fishing equipment. There is an inital fee for hooks and bait plus an hourly cost to rent fishing rods. The table shows the cost of renting a fishing rod. Determine and interpret the rate of change and initial value. Assume that the relationship between the two quantities is linear.

• 4, 35; The rate of change is $4 per hour. The initial value is $25.

• 7.5, 20; The rate of change is $7.50 per hour. The initial value is $20.

• 10, 26; The rate of change is $10 per hour. The initial value is $26.

• 12.5, 80; The rate of change is $12.50 per hour. The initial value is $80.
