A straight line in the xy-plane has a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 2. On this line, what is the x-coordinate of the point whose y-coordinate is 998 ?	Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 249	B) 498	C) 676	D) 823	E) 1,002
slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 2   y-coordinate is 998   y = 2x + 2   996 = 2x   x = 498   Answer:   B. 498
