The table of values below represents a linear function and shows the weight of a kitten as it has grown. What is the output for the initial value?Weight of a KittenKitten’s Age (weeks)246810Weight (pounds)0.81.42.02.63.2

The weight increases by 0.6 pounds every 2 weeks, so the kitten gains 0.3 pounds per week. At 2 weeks, it weighs 0.8 pounds; going back 2 weeks subtracts 2 × 0.3 = 0.6 pounds. The initial output is 0.8 − 0.6 = 0.2 pounds, choice A.
