Question

p9.1.3 (equations & graphs)
what is the y-intercept of the line graphed?
a) (0, -8)
b) \\(\left(0, -\frac{1}{8}\
ight)\\)
c) (0, 0)
d) (0, 8)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall y-intercept definition

The y - intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y - axis. At this point, the x - coordinate is 0 (since it's on the y - axis, \(x = 0\)).

Step2: Identify the crossing point

Looking at the graph, the line crosses the y - axis at the point where \(x = 0\) and \(y=8\). So the coordinates of the y - intercept are \((0, 8)\).

Answer:

D) \((0, 8)\)
