Question 6 of 10

What happens to a line when the y-intercept is changed? Check all that apply.
A. As the y-intercept decreases, the graph of the line shifts left.
B. As the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line shifts up.
O c. As the y-intercept decreases, the graph of the line shifts down.
D. As the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line shifts right.
E. As the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line gets steeper.

Answer 1

B and C; as the y intercept increases/decreases, the graph of the line shifts up/down.

The y intercept is where the function crosses the y-axis. If the y intercept moves either up or down, the whole function will be translated up/down vertically along the y-axis.
