When the y-intercept of a line is negative, which of the following must be true about the graph of the line?

Question

The line passes through the y-axis at some point above the origin.

The line passes through the x-axis at some point to the right of the origin.     

The line passes through the y-axis at some point below the origin.

The line passes through the origin.

The line passes through the x-axis at some point to the left of the origin.

Answer 1

All we can tell is that the line passes through the y-axis below the origin.

Unless the line is horizontal, the line will pass through the x-axis either on the right or left side of the origin.

The origin is (0,0), so if y is negative, it won't pass through the origin.
