Writing Linear Equations Given Two Points

Question 6 • Q1 Mathematics 8

When the spaceship starts from a point on the y axis, what is the y-intercept of the line of travel?

Answer
A
the x-coordinate of the spaceship
B
the y-coordinate of the spaceship
C
the y-coordinate of the alien
D
the distance from the spaceship to the alien

Explanation

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. Since the spaceship starts on the y-axis, its starting point is the line’s y-intercept, so the intercept is the spaceship’s y-coordinate. The correct choice is “the y-coordinate of the spaceship.”
