Question

What is the y-intercept in this linear equation?


2y - 4x = -12

Answer 1

simple set the x coordinate to be zero and solve for y

Answer 2

the yintercept is just another name for: when x=0

Answer 3

2y-4(0)=-12

Answer 4

by "setting x coordinate = 0" what this really means is just erase that term. you get
\[2y=-12\] so
\[y=-6\]

Answer 5

nice job you get a medal for that
