Question

In the slope-intercept equation of a line, which part of the equation gives the y-coordinate of the point where the line crosses the y-axis?

A. The constant term
B. The coefficient of the x-term
C. The coefficient of the y-term
D. The x-term

Answer 1

slope intercept form : y = mx+c
line crossing y axis ---> Y intercept
when x= 0

Answer 2

plug in x=0 in
y=mx+c
what u get?

Answer 3

y= C +1?

Answer 4

wait no

Answer 5

waiting

Answer 6

ok alright.... y=m0+c right?

Answer 7

yes
m*0 = 0

Answer 8

so
y=c
right ?

and 'c' is called the constant :)

Answer 9

*the constant term

Answer 10

@hartnn you might have learned this differently than me but I thought it was y=mx+b

Answer 11

yes, it doesn't make a difference :)

Answer 12

so the answer would be A?

Answer 13

yes :)

Answer 14

oh ok I was just confused but that does help understand the problem
