The rate of change of a linear function is the slope of the function.

The rate of change is -7 and the initial value of the function is 27

The points are given as:

[tex]E = (0,27)[/tex]

[tex]F = (5,-8)[/tex]

The slope (m) is calculated as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{-8 - 27}{5-0}[/tex]

Rewrite the fraction as:

[tex]m = \frac{- 35}{5}[/tex]

Divide -35 by 5

[tex]m = -7[/tex]

So, the rate of change is -7

The initial value of the function is the value of the function when the input value (i.e. x) is 0.

At point E, we have: [tex]E = (0,27)[/tex]

So, the initial value of the function is 27
