Which line cuts the (y)-axis at ( (0,9) ) and decreases (y) by (12) when (x) increases by (3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(y=-4x+9\)

When \(x\) increases by 3 and \(y\) decreases by 12, the slope is \(m=\frac{-12}{3}=-4\). Since the line cuts the \(y\)-axis at \((0,9)\), its \(y\)-intercept is 9. Therefore, its equation is \(y=-4x+9\). Option A has a positive slope, but \(y\) is decreasing here. Exam tip: Use a negative sign for the slope whenever the dependent variable decreases.
