Verified Answer :

C−6, is the best option

Answer:

Option C  \(-6\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we  know that

The initial value is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero

The initial value is the y-intercept of the function

In this problem we have

\(y=-7x-6\) -----> equation of the line into slope intercept form

therefore

\(m=-7\) -----> the slope

\(b=-6\) ----> the y-intercept

The initial value is \(-6\)
