I couldn't get the whole thing in so I'm typing it two athletes are training over a two-weem period to increase the number of pish-ups each can do consecutively. Athlete A can can do 16 push-ups to start, and increases his total by 2 each day. Athlete B's progress is charted in the table. compare the initial values for each. what does the initial value mean in this situation?

Athlete A's initial value is greater than athlete B's initial value.

The initial value is the amount of push-ups each athlete could do before they began their training.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of athlete A is 16.

To find the initial value of athlete A, look at the table and find the value of the output when the input equals 0. In this case, the initial value is 12.

16 is greater than 12, so athlete A's initial value is greater than athlete B's initial value.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
