Algebra practice question

Which of the following is an equation of a line in the xy-plane with a y-intercept of 4?

  1. A. y = 2x + 4Correct
  2. B. y = 4x
  3. C. y = 4x − 2
  4. D. x = 4

Answer: A. y = 2x + 4

At x = 0, y = 4.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. y = 4x
At x = 0, y = 0.
C. y = 4x − 2
At x = 0, y = −2.
D. x = 4
A vertical line has no y-intercept.
