Set 17: Linear Functions (Intermediate)

Choice A is correct. Choice A is the correct answer. Convert to slope-intercept form or set $x=0$. 1. Distribute: $y - 3 = 2 x - 8$ 2. Add 3: $y = 2 x - 5$ 3. Intercept: $b = -5$ Strategic Tip: Don't just read numbers from the equation. You must simplify to $y=mx+b$ form. Choice B is incorrect because it's the y-coordinate of the point, not the intercept. Choice C is incorrect because it's part of the distribution. Choice D is incorrect because of calculation error.
