Question

The y-intercept of the graph of 3x-2y=8

Answer 1

3x-2y=8

REMEMBER: y-intercept occurs when x=0

3x - 2y = 8
3(0) - 2y = 8
0 - 2y = 8
-2y = 8
--- ----
-2 -2
y = -4

SO: y-intercept is -4 at point (0,-4)

Answer 2

How did you get the 0?

Answer 3

to find the y-intercept, X = 0

Answer 4

and we found out that Y = -4

Answer 5

X = 0, Y = -4
(x, y,)
(0, -4)

Answer 6

So the x=0 is a standard? So you could use it in other slope problems like this one?

Answer 7

To find the X-INTERCEPT, let Y=0.
To find the Y-INTERCEPT, let X=0.

Answer 8

Okay. I get it. Thanks!
