What is the y intersept of (–3, 2) ? i forgot how to get it... help??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot how to find it without a graph. With a graph its easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@swissgirl

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be (0,4)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

go to the left -3 and up 2. the y intercept is uhh i forgot but i think its just 2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think thats it XD but thanks

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

(-3, 2) is just a point. There is no y-intercept of a point. y-intercept is associated with the graph of a relation.

I just forgot how to find it without a graph @mathstudent55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya @mathstudent55 right

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Your question can't be answered. There is no such thing as the y-intercept of (-3, 2). (-3, 2) is simply a point. It is not on the y-axis, so there is no concept of y-intercept associated with it.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Look up the question and write it again correctly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh XD yeah ok oops. i meant if a line with a slope of -2 went through the point (-3,2) what would the y-intercept be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so it is (0,4)

Nnesha (nnesha):

in order to be a y -intercept then there should be x=0 like this one (0 , y)

Nnesha (nnesha):

^^^there you go
