What is the initial value of the equation shown?
y = -2x - 5
0-5
0-2
O2
05

Answer 1

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is the value of y when x has the value of 0.

Substitute 'x' for '0' and solve for 'y':

$y=-2(0)-5\\\rightarrow -2*0=0\\y=0-5\\\boxed{y=-5}$

Option A should be correct.

Answer 2

Answer: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Y= -2x - 5

+2. +2

-------------

Y= x(0)-5

So the initial value would be -5 because that would be x=0. Sorry if this is complicated I havent done it since the beginning of 6th grade.
