Which of the following is a true statement about the equation y = - 2/3x+ 12 ? Group of answer choices The initial value is 12. The slope is 12 The graph of the equation would pass through the origin. The equation represents a proportional relationship.

justus:

A. The initial value is 12. The initial value is the y intercept. (Positive) B. The slope is 12. No the slope is -2/3. (Negative) C. The graph passes thru the origin. No it does not. (Negative) D. The equation represents a proportional relationship. No, because it did not pass thru the origin (0,0). (Negative)

justus:

Correct choice is A.

justus:

The initial value is 12. As seen in the equation.

justus:

y = mx + b, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
