Question

The y-intercept of the line whose equation is 3x - 2y = 6 is -3 2 6

Answer 1

The best way to answer this question is to ask yourself what the Y intercept is. The Y intercept is the point on the graph when the line crosses the Y axis. This point will always be wherever X is equal to 0.

So, to find the answer, we need to say that X = 0

3(0) - 2Y = 6

Zero times any number equals zero, so we are left with:

-2Y = 6

Now, we solve for Y by dividing both sides by -2.

Y = 6/(-2)

Y = -3

So, when X = 0, Y = -3.

Thus, the Y intercept is at point (0,-3).

Answer 2

Answer:

The y-intercept is -3
