If (p=6) and (q=-8) in (y=px+q), which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The line increases and the (y)-intercept is negative

In (y=px+q), p is the slope of the line and q is its y-intercept. Here, (p=6) is positive, so y increases as x increases and the line rises. Also, (q=-8) means that the line cuts the y-axis at -8, so its y-intercept is negative. Option C is incorrect because a horizontal line has slope 0. Exam tip: the sign of the slope shows whether a line rises or falls, while the constant term gives the y-intercept.
