Question

At what point does the line given by the following equation cross the y-axis?

y = (4/11)x - 9

A. (0, 11/4)
B. (-9, 0)
C. (0, -36/11)
D, (0, -9)

Answer 1

Pretty sure the answer is D:

Because the equation is in the format y=mx+c (c being the y intercept), we know that the y intercept (or where the line will cross the y axis) will be -9.

B also says -9 but we have to be careful because it states that the x axis is -9 rather than the y axis.

Hope that helped you understand.
