Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form of an equation is,

y = mx + b

Here, m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

By comparing this equation with the equations given in the options,

Option (1)

y = 3.5x

Slope of the line 'm' = 3.5

y-intercept 'b' = 0

Slope and y-intercept both are positive.

Option (2)

y =
(1)/(4)x+7

m =
(1)/(4)

b = 7

Both are positive.

Option (3)

y = 7.5x - 2

m = 7.5

b = -2

Therefore, slope of the line is positive and y-intercept is negative.

Option (4)

y = -5x - 8

m = -5

b = -8

Therefore, slope and y-intercept both are negative.

Option (C) is the correct option.
