$$\large h + 5 =h - 3$$

Lets think about that...

does any number + 8    ....= that same number....- 3? Seems impossible to me

anonymous · Answer

D?

johnweldon1993 · Answer

Correct...because for example...say that 'h' = 2

If we have

$$\large h + 5 = h - 3$$
$$\large 2 + 5 = 2 - 3$$
$$\large 7 = -1$$

See, it is impossible...so D is correct

What is the y-intercept of the line? y = -3x
	A.	-3
	B.	0
	C.	1
	D.	3

johnweldon1993 · Answer

A slope intercept form looks like

$$\large y = mx + b$$
Where 'm' = slope and 'b' = y-intercept

Your equation is

$$\large y = -3x$$

Notice how you have the slope "-3" but there is no + b on there...so your y-intercept is 0

Because this is essentially like writing $$\large y = -3x + 0$$

so always remember y+mx+B ?
