Question

What is the y
-intercept of y=x+3
? Write as an ordered pair.
Is option 1 or 2 correct?

Option 1: The y
-intercept is 3 and is represented by the ordered pair (3,0)
.
Option 2: The y
-intercept is 3 and is represented by the ordered pair (0,3)
.

(1 point)
Option

Answer 1

To find the y-intercept of the equation \( y = x + 3 \), we set \( x = 0 \).

Plugging \( x = 0 \) into the equation:

\[
y = 0 + 3 = 3
\]

So, the y-intercept of the equation is 3, and it is represented by the ordered pair \( (0, 3) \).

Therefore, the correct option is:

**Option 2: The y-intercept is 3 and is represented by the ordered pair (0, 3).**
