Answer:

They are 8 units apart, and the y-intercept of line A is above the x-axis by 6 units, and line B is below the x-axis by 2 units

Explanation:

Remember your y-intercept has an x value of zero, so line B has a y intercept of (0,-2)

now let's find b in the original equation so

y - 8 = -2x - 2 so y = -2x -2 + 8, so y = -2x + 6

So line A has a y-intercept of (0,6)

They are 8 units apart, and the y-intercept of line A is above the x-axis by 6 units, and line B is below the x-axis by 2 units
