Question

Find the y-intercept of the graph of the linear equation. Give your answer in terms of b.

Answer 1

Given :

An equation of line :

2y - mx + b.

To Find :

The y-intercept of the given line.

Solution :

We know, in general equation of line :

y =mx + c

Here, c is the y-intercept.

Now, simplifying given equation till general equation :

$2y =mx + b\\\\y =\dfrac{mx}{2}+\dfrac{b}{2}$

Therefore, y-intercept is $\dfrac{b}{2}$ .

Hence, this is the required solution.
