Question

the table shows the amount of money latasha charges customers to mow their lawns. the table represents a linear function.

time (h)	0	$\frac{1}{2}$	1	$1\frac{1}{2}$	2

what does the initial value mean for this function?

• latasha earns $18 for 1 hour of work.
• latasha charges $10 before she begins mowing.
• partially visible option latasha does not charge her customers unless she has mowed for at least a half hour

Explanation:

The initial value of a linear function is the output (cost) when the input (time) is 0. From the table, when time = 0 hours, the cost is $10. This represents a base charge before any mowing work starts.

Answer:

LaTasha charges $10 before she begins mowing.
