The equation of the line of best fit of a scatter plot is y = −8x + 3. What is the the y-intercept? (4 points)

Question

−8
−3
3
8

Answer 1

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In the equation y = -8x + 3, the constant term (which does not have any variable attached to it) is 3, so the y-intercept is 3. Therefore, the answer is 3.
