and the "+b" is the y intercept.
whether it is positive or negative, makes it goes upward or downward.

Answer 2

What do you think is the y intercept?

Answer 3

The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, meaning what is the value of y when x =0?

Answer 5

You don't have to solve anything, it is already in the equation. See?

Answer 6

So what is your y intercept?

Answer 7

To get on the y-axis, the x value has to be 0. Take the equation y=-2x-8 and substitute 0 for x. y = -2*0 - 8 = 0 - 8 = ? @_Invalid._.user

Answer 9

What is 0 - 8 = ?

Answer 10

-8
