4. If the independent variable x = 0, then y’ = bo, the y-intercept.
A) True B) False
true??
if it is a straight line of form
y = m x + b
then indeed if x = 0
then y = b, called the y axis "intercept".
To determine if the statement is true or false, let's break it down:
The statement says, "If the independent variable x = 0, then y’ = bo, the y-intercept."
In a linear equation, the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0. So, if we substitute x = 0 into the equation and get y' = bo, then the statement is true.
To verify this, let's examine the equation of a straight line, represented as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
If x = 0, then the equation becomes y = m(0) + b = 0 + b = b.
Since y' represents the value of y when x = 0, if y' is equal to b, which is the y-intercept, then the statement is true.
Therefore, the answer is A) True.
