Is this statement about y=2x-3 true or false.

It crosses the y axis at (2,-3)

1 answer

False.

The statement is referring to the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x = 0 and solve for y:

y = 2x - 3
y = 2(0) - 3
y = -3

Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -3), not (2, -3).
