A function has an initial value of −1 and a slope equal to 3. Choose the sketch of a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of the function.(1 point)

Since the initial value is -1 and the slope is 3, the function is linear. It has a positive slope, meaning it is increasing, and it starts at y = -1. The correct sketch of the graph would be an upward sloping line starting at y = -1.
