@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

Hint: x = 0 at the y-intercept

mikewwe13:

i was debating that the answer is D

Vocaloid:

(x,y)

Vocaloid:

when x = 0 what does (x,y) look like?

mikewwe13:

y = 0

Vocaloid:

No, only x = 0

Vocaloid:

replace x with 0 and tell me what (x,y) looks like

mikewwe13:

it's looks like a straight line

Vocaloid:

Write down ((x,y) Replace x with 0 Leave everything else alone Let me know what you get

mikewwe13:

(0, y)

Vocaloid:

Good Which answer choice has 0 for the first coordinate?

mikewwe13:

B.

Vocaloid:

Good that's it
