Question

Consider the following linear equations. y = 2x + 5 y = 2x - 3 Which statement below if True?

Question 5 options:

A.The line for one equation is steeper than the other.

B.The line will move from crossing at the y-axis at 5 down to crossing the y-axis at -3

C.The y-intercepts are the same in both equations.

D.The line for each equation will be the same.
Needed A.S.A.P thank you very much!!

Answer 1

Option B is correct

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given as;

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is y-intercept

Let’s evaluate the options one after the other;

A. This is wrong as they both have same slope of 2

C. The y-intercepts are not the same

One is 5, the other is -3

D. This is wrong, the line cannot be the same

Option B is correct

The y-intercept of both varies

While 1 is already appreciated, the other is coming back
