The function f(x)=−75x+1,200 represents the value of your cell phone x months after you purchase it. Identify and interpret the initial value of the function.(1 point)
The initial value of the function is the y-intercept, which is the value of the function when x = 0.
In this case, plugging in x = 0 into the function f(x) = -75x + 1200, we get:
f(0) = -75(0) + 1200
= 1200
Therefore, the initial value of the function is 1200.
This means that when you purchase the cell phone (at x = 0 months), its value is $1200.
