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 ?  Answers: A) 249 B) 498 C) 676 D) 823 E) 1,002

Rationale: "slope of 2 and a y - intercept of 2 y - coordinate is 998 y = 2 x + 2 996 = 2 x x = 498 answer : b . 498"
Answer: B
