Answer:

The initial value is the revenue in 2002.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 1303x + 6500[/tex]

Required

Interpret the initial value

From  the question, we understand that the x represents years after 2000.

So, initially

[tex]x =0[/tex]

Substitute 0 for x in [tex]y = 1303x + 6500[/tex]

[tex]y = 1303 * 0 + 6500[/tex]

[tex]y = 0 + 6500[/tex]

[tex]y = 6500[/tex]

This value represents the revenue at 2000 and it is the initial value
