Answer:
So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.
The y-intercept was (0,2) then it becomes (0,5) in the new line.
Explanation:
The slope-intercept form a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and the y-intercept is b.
Both of these equations given are in this form.
y=-4x+2 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=2.
Since b=2 then the y-intercept is 2.
y=-4x+5 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=5.
Since b=5 then the y-intercept is 5.
So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.
