Question

Determine the y -intercept, b , of the additive relationship y=x−1 . Write the y -intercept as an ordered pair.

Is option 1 or 2 correct?

1. The y-intercept is -1 and is represented by the ordered pair (-1,0)
2. The y-intercept is -1 and is represented by the ordered pair (0, -1)

Answer 1

Determine the y -intercept, b , of the additive relationship y=x−1 . Write the y -intercept as an ordered pair.

Option 2 is correct. The y-intercept of the equation y=x-1 is -1. It is represented by the ordered pair (0, -1).
