Question

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

Answer 1

looks good. Why do u need to check:-)

Answer 2

y =-2

Answer 3

hey you changed the question

Answer 4

doesn't trust us !!!?

Answer 5

one rather trivial way to determine intercepts in a line equation is to divide it all by that constant.

2x - 3y = 6 ; /6

2x -3y 6
--- + --- = --- ; and simplify
6 6 6


x -y
-- + --- =1 ; and if theres a negative place it on the bottom
3 2 for easy pickings

\[\frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{-2}=1\]
now the intercepts can be read by the bottom numbers

Answer 6

y=mx+b form yields \[2x-6=3y\] --> \[y=2/3*x-2\] y-intercept is the value of the equation when x=0, therefore you are right
