The correct option is A y = 12 - 3x
We know, equation of a function is in the form of: y = mx + c
where 'c' denotes the function's y-intercept value.
In First Option:
Equation is y = 12 - 3x
Comparing the equation y = 12 - 3x with y = mx + c, we get:
Value of y-intercept = 12
In Second Option:
Equation is y = 2.4x - 24
Comparing the equation y = 2.4x - 24 with y = mx + c
Value of y-intercept = -24
In Third Option:
Equation is y = -32 - 8.3x
Comparing the equation y = -32 - 8.3x with y = mx + c, we get:
Value of y-intercept = -32
In Fourth Option:
Equation is y = -3x + 4
Comparing the equation y = -3x + 4 with y = mx + c, we get:
Value of y-intercept = 4
Thus, -32<-24<4<12
Third Option < Second Option < Fourth Option < First Option
Thus, the equation y = 12 - 3x has the greatest y-intercept
