Answer 2

Hi @diannemarieee

So, anytime we want to find a y-intercept all we have to do is set x = 0 into the equation and solve for y.

Answer 3

okay thank you guys so much

Answer 4

So if we set x = 0, we get: y = 2(0) - 9

Which gives us y = -9, which means the point (0, -9) is your y-intercept. =0)
