You want to get y by itself on one side, so how do you think you'd do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1 + y = 6x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y has to be alone on one side so it'd be : y = 6x+1 This is because: you subtract the 6x on both sides and get: -y=-6x-1 but y can't be negative so you divide both sides by the invisible 1 a variable always has. So you divide by -1(both sides) to get y = 6x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it'd would be x = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or at least I think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x - y = -1 (change to slope intercept form) -y = -6x - 1 (multiply by -1 to make y positive) y = 6x + 1 In y = mx + b form, the b is your y intercept. Therefore, in this equation, 1 is your y intercept. Another way to do this is to find your y intercept, sub in 0 for x. 6x - y = -1 6(0) - y = -1 -y = -1 (multiply by -1 to make y positive) y = 1 so your y intercept is (0,1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's B I'm so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...it is B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can put your equation in y = mx + b form, where the number that falls in the b position is the y intercept. Or you can sub in 0 for x and solve for y. You will get the same answer if you do it correctly.
