Given the graph of a linear function, identify the steps used to find the initial value. Check all that apply.

The initial value is the function’s y-value when x = 0, so E is correct. If the graph does not show that value directly, find the rate of change using rise over run (A), then use it to find the y-values as x decreases to 0 (C). The y-value at x = 1 is not the initial value, so D is incorrect.
