Which best describes the effect of translating the equation y=1/2x+8 up or down the y axis?

Option B, the y-intercept changes

Explanation:

This is because, the y-intercept is located on the y-axis, which is the vertical axis, moving the graph up and down would mean moving it vertically, therefore this would result in the change of the y-intercept.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

2/5+1/2=9/10

6/1-9/10=5 1/10

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
