Question 38

Multiple Choice

For the linear equation y=2017xy = 20 - 17 x , explain what the yy -intercept and slope represent in terms of the graph of the equation.


A) The yy -intercept, b0=20b _ { 0 } = 20 , gives the yy -value at which the straight line y=2017xy = 20 - 17 x intersects the yy -axis. The slope, b1=17b _ { 1 } = 17 , indicates that the yy -value increases by 17 units for every increase in xx of 1 unit.
B) The yy -intercept, b0=20b _ { 0 } = 20 , gives the yy -value at which the straight line y=2017xy = 20 - 17 x intersects the yy -axis. The slope, b1=17b _ { 1 } = - 17 , indicates that the xx -value decreases by 17 units for every increase in yy of 1 unit.
C) The yy -intercept, b0=17b _ { 0 } = - 17 , gives the yy -value at which the straight line y=2017xy = 20 - 17 x intersects the yy -axis. The slope, b1=20b _ { 1 } = 20 , indicates that the yy -value increases by 20 units for every increase in xx of 1 unit.
D) The yy -intercept, b0=20b _ { 0 } = 20 , gives the yy -value at which the straight line y=2017xy = 20 - 17 x intersects the yy -axis. The slope, b1=17b _ { 1 } = - 17 , indicates that the yy -value decreases by 17 units for every increase in xx of 1 unit.
