Question

The equation of a line is 5x − 3y = 6. Which is the y-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

Answer:

y - intercept. = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : The equation of a line is 5x − 3y = 6.

To find : Which is the y-intercept of the line.

Solution : We have given  5x − 3y = 6.

Equation of line y = mx +b

Where , m = slope , y intercept = b

Now we convert the  5x − 3y = 6 in line form y = mx +b

5x − 3y = 6

On subtracting both sides by 5x

-3x = - 5x + 6

On dividing both sides by - 3.

x = $\frac{5x}{3}+2$.

We cans see m = $\frac{5}{3}$ , y - intercept. = 2.

Therefore, y - intercept. = 2.
