How will the graph of line y = - 3x+8 be affected if the 8 is changed to - 3?

A. The y-intercept will be moved 3 units downward.

B. The y-intercept will be moved 5 units downward.

C. The y-intercept will be moved 11 units downward.

D. The x-intercept will be moved 3 units to the left.

E. The x-intercept will be moved 11 units to the left.

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A y intercept lies on the y axis.

This means that the movement will happen with the y intercept, on the y axis.

8 is the original y intercept.

It is now changed to - 3.

-3 is lower than 8 on the y axis so we are moving downward.

Now, to find the number of squares it moves, we can find the difference between 8 and - 3.

8 - (-3) = 11

Therefore, The y-intercept will be moved 11 units downward.
