Y=-8x-12.interpret the y-intercept and the slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b

The slope is 8. This means that 8 multiplied by x is the slope of the line, and if there was no y-intercept then the first point would be (1,8) so 8 would be unit rate.

The y-intercept is -12. This means that though the slope of the line would still be 8, you move the point down on the y-axis by 12. The y-coordinate will always be 12 less than 8 times x

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
