Please check! I give medals and fan! Given the linear equation 4y = 8x – 3, find the y-intercept. I think the answer is 2 but I might be wrong.

2x-3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for y y = 2x -3/4 2 is the slope, the y intercept is -3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

So! Let's use substitution once more to find the correct answer. Please tell me, what value of x does the y-intercept occur at?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha my blonde hair is affecting my brain right now. Can you re-word that? @IParke

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha. The y-intercept occurs when the line crosses the y axis, correct? So, where on the x axis does that line cross? It's always the same, hint hint.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0?
