Concepts

A linear function can be shown as an equation, a table, a graph, or
a verbal description. If you are only given the table for a
function, can you still find its rate of change and initial value?

Yes -- all four representations contain the same information about the function, just organized differently.

No -- rate of change and initial value can only be found from an equation.

No -- you would need to see the graph to find these values.

Only the rate of change can be found from a table, not the initial value.
