Question

On the graph of the equation 6x – y = –1, what is the value of the y-intercept?

Answer 1

-1?.....

Answer 2

At the y-intercept, what's the value of x?

Plug it in.

Answer 3

6?

Answer 4

in order for a curve or line to cross the y axis (to intercept the y axis), the value of x is equal to "0"

Answer 5

pluging in x=0 into the equation lets you solve for the y intercept

6x – y = –1
0
-------
-y = -1 ; what is the value of "y"?

Answer 6

-1?

Answer 7

lets check that out

does: -(-1) = -1 ?

Answer 8

no..

Answer 9

then y is not -1 :)

Answer 10

6/-1....=-6?

Answer 11

im sorry im just really confused

Answer 12

-y = -1 ; multiply both sides by -1 (since - * - = +)

-(-y) = -(-1)
y = 1

Answer 13

oh woww. okay thank you :)

Answer 14

good luck
