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?

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

(1 point)
Option

Answer 1

To find the y-intercept of the equation \( y = x - 1 \), we set \( x = 0 \) and solve for \( y \):

\[
y = 0 - 1 = -1
\]

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

So, Option 2 is correct: The y-intercept is \( -1 \) and is represented by the ordered pair \( (0, -1) \).
