The y intercept of a line L is 1. If the slope of L is negative, which of the following could be the x intercept of L.
I. -1
II. 0
III. 6	Select the correct option:	A) I only	B) II only	C) III only	D) I and II	E) I and III
C) III only   The y-intercept is 1. Therefore we have y=mx+1   It is given that the slope is negative. Therefore the line must go from top left to bottom right.   i.e: the x-intercept has to be positive. That itself rules out III.   If you choose to go with the options directly, here's an approach.   y=mx+1. For the x-intercept, y=0.   i.e. mx+1=0.   We know that the slope m is negative. Therefore, if x=-1 or x=0, the equation mx+1 =0 would never be satisfied.   If x=6, we have 6m+1=0. A value of m=-1/6 would satisfy this equation. (ANSWER III only)
