Question 753350: Which equation describes a line with slope 3 and y-intercept -7 ? Please help !
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The absolutely correct answer would be "None of the above" because there is no such thing as a 
-intercept of -7. Intercepts are points, and in 
, intercepts are designated by ordered pairs. It would be correct to say that the -intercept is )
or that the -coordinate of the -intercept is -7.
Be that as it may, you didn't bother to share your choices, so I can't do much but tell you that if both the ordered pair and the ordered pair )
are elements of the solution set of the equation, then the equation describes a line with the given parameters assuming correct terminology for the -intercept.
Hint: In order to determine whether or not an ordered pair is an element of the solution set of an equation, substitute the 
-coordinate for in the equation, substitute the -coordinate for in the equation, and then do the indicated arithmetic. If the result is a true statement, then the order pair is an element of the set of ordered pairs described by the equation -- otherwise not.
