Select all equations that have graphs with the same y-intercept. y = 3x - 8 y = 3x - 9 y = 3x + 8 y = 5x - 8 y = 2x - 8 y = ⅓x - 8

Final answer:

Equations y = 3x - 8, y = 5x - 8, y = 2x - 8, and y = ⅓x - 8 all have the same y-intercept of -8. These are identified by examining the constant term in each equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to identify all the linear equations that have the same y-intercept. The y-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is represented by the constant term (also known as the b term) in the equation of a line, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Looking at the given equations:


  • y = 3x - 8

  • y = 3x - 9

  • y = 3x + 8

  • y = 5x - 8

  • y = 2x - 8

  • y = ⅓x - 8

All the equations that share the same y-intercept of -8 are:


  • y = 3x - 8

  • y = 5x - 8

  • y = 2x - 8

  • y = ⅓x - 8

The y intercept is the one without the x with it so all the -8 ones are the same intercept
