Which linear function has the largest y-intercept?

A

y=5x+10y = -5x + 10

B

y=2x+8y = 2x + 8

C

2y=4x+122y = 4x + 12

D

A line passing through (0,5)(0, 5) and (1,6)(1, 6)

Correct Answer: A

Choice A is the correct answer. Identify intercepts.

  1. A: b=10b = 10.
  2. B: b=8b = 8.
  3. C: Divide by 2 y=2x+6\rightarrow y = 2x + 6. b=6b = 6.
  4. D: Passes through (0,5)(0, 5), so b=5b = 5.
  5. Max: 10 is the largest.

💡 Strategic Tip: Convert all to y=mx+by=mx+b form first.

Choice B is incorrect.Choice C is incorrect.Choice D is incorrect.
