What is the initial value of line B?

Question image

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for the initial value (y-intercept) of line B on the graph provided. To solve this, we would locate where line B crosses the y-axis.

Answer

The initial value of line B is \(6\).
Answer for screen readers

The initial value of line B is (6).

Steps to Solve

  1. Locate the Y-axis Intersection Identify where line B crosses the y-axis on the graph.

  2. Read the Y Coordinate Look at the point where line B intersects the y-axis and read the corresponding y-coordinate.

  3. Identify the Initial Value The y-coordinate where line B crosses the y-axis is the initial value (y-intercept) of line B.

The initial value of line B is (6).

More Information

In a Cartesian coordinate system, the y-intercept indicates the point at which a line intersects the y-axis. This value is crucial when determining the equation of the line in slope-intercept form, (y = mx + b), where (b) is the y-intercept.

Tips

  • Misreading the Y-axis: Ensure that you accurately read the y-coordinate at the intersection; double-check against the scale of the graph to avoid mistakes.
  • Confusing with Line A: Ensure you are focusing specifically on line B when finding the intersection.
