The statement that identifies the correct y-intercept must mention a positive value since the line crosses from the 2nd quadrant to the y-axis. Options A and B are falsified due to a negative y-intercept. We choose between C and D based solely on the y-intercept, which is 2.

The question asks which statement identifies the y-intercept and the ordered pair of the point on the graph of a line which is passing from the 3rd quadrant to the 1st quadrant and has a known point in the second quadrant (-2,2).

To determine the y-intercept, we need to find the point where the line crosses the y-axis (where x=0).

The ordered pair refers to a specific point on the line.

Given that the point (-2, 2) is in the second quadrant, we know that the y-value of the y-intercept must be positive because as the line moves from the second quadrant to the y-axis, it would cross at a positive y-value before reaching the 1st quadrant.

Therefore, we can eliminate options A and B, as they suggest a negative y-intercept.

Between options C and D, the difference is in the ordered pair.

The probable question may be:

Which statement identifies the y-intercept and the ordered pair of the point on the graph?

The line is passing from 3rd quadrant to 1st quadrant from point in second quadrant (-2,2)

A. The y-intercept is -2; the ordered pair is (1,3).

B. The y-intercept is -2; the ordered pair is (3,1).

C. The y-intercept is 2; the ordered pair is (1,3).

D. The y-intercept is 2; the ordered pair is (3,1).
