posiive slope lines are when x increases , y increases.
Here x <y hence when x =0, y will be less than 0
Hence A

I would say none of the above. It completely depends on the gradient of the slope. For example if the gradient is 5 then the y intercept would be negative, and if the gradient was 1, then the y intercept would be positive

What is the difference between option D and E?
If, the gradient of the slope can take any value and thus, the intercept can take any (+,-,&0) then that choice is already present in option D.

Hi kshv,

The basic idea of the question is to see for what values of y-intercept will a line passing through (3, 5) have positive slope
as per the below figure, we can see all the values of y-intercepts less than 5 will satisfy the above condition
Image

So, the correct inequality MUST be c < 5

That's why option E is the answer

Think about this,
Can we say c must be less than 0 always? No right! Coz all values from 0 < c < 5 are left out. So, none of the options satisfy the condition 'MUST'

Hope i'm clear!
