It represents the value of the expression when the variable (t) is zero.

_____

If this is supposed to be an expression for ballistic motion, the constant could represent the initial height of the object in feet. There is nothing in your problem statement indication what this expression is suppose to represent. It could be pennies of profit for selling t trinkets, for all we know—where the constant term represents some initial balance you have before you sell any.

It can represent many things depending on what context the expression is used in. Most commonly, the constant term represents the y-intercept of the expression when it is graphed e.g. the graph of y = -16t² - 8t + 24 has a y-intercept of 24.

It can also represent the initial value if the expression is used in a word problem context

Which line has a slope of zero and goes through (5, -8)
goblinko [34]

Answer:

y=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, we know that the slope of the line is 0. Let's make an equation in y=mx+b form with what we know.

y=0x+b

We also have a point on the line, (5, -8). We can plug these two numbers for x and y to find b and complete the equation. -8 goes in as y and 5 goes in as x.

-8=0(5)+b

Now just solve for b.

-8=0+b

b=-8

We now know that b is -8 and can complete the equation.

y=0x-8

y=-8
