Answer:
The initial value of the linear relationship is [tex]y=-2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
The initial value is the value of the linear function when the value of x is equal to zero
therefore
The initial value is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the linear function
Observing the graph
The y-intercept is the point [tex](0,-2)[/tex]
so
For [tex]x=0[/tex]
The value of y is equal to [tex]y=-2[/tex]
