Explain how to determine what the y-intercept is and where it would be located on the graph.
the line intersects the y axis at (0,12)
Which did you include in your answer?
y = 8x – 12✔ y = 8x + 12y = 12x – 8y = 12x + 8
The instructor makes $ a month.

After working for a few years, the instructor has $3,500 saved for rent. He rents an apartment that costs $275 a month. Which graph represents the equation of the scenario?




)
8
The instructor had saved $3,500 and rents an apartment for $275 monthly. He believes the point (6, 1850) would be on the equation of the line. Is he correct? Explain how to check if a point is on a line.
First, write the equation for the line in slopeintercept form: y 275x 3500, where 275 is the monthly rent and 3500 is the initial savings. To check if the point (6, 1850) is on the line, substitute x 6 and y 1850 into the equation. 1850 275(6) 3500 1850 1650 3500 1850 1850 Since the equation is true, the instructor is correct; the point is on the line.
