A group of workers is harvesting carrots at a constant rate. An equation that represents the number of bushels of carrots the workers picked over a period of time, in hours, is y=6x+2. What are the rate of change and the initial amount? Explain the meaning of the rate of change and the initial amount for this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 = bushels of carrots per hour (rate of change)

x = time worked at picking

2 = initial number of bushels picked before time starts.
