Question

6. Which of the following is true about the line given by 8x - 2y = 24?

A) The slope is negative.
B) The y-intercept is negative.
C) The x-intercept is 8.
D) The line does not pass through quadrant III.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

put equation in slope-intercept formula (y=mx+b)

8x-2y=24

-8x -8x

-2y=-8x+24

divide each side by -2

y=4x-12

the "b" in the formula is the y-intercept which is -12, therefore B is correct
