9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is 6
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

find it out :
to get y-intercept, plug in x=0
OpenStudy (arabpride):
Begin by setting up the equation in slope-intercept form, aka y = mx + b
to make your life a whole lot easier :3
hartnn (hartnn):
-2y =-18
getting y is just one step
OpenStudy (the_fizicx99):
Cute, just plot it on a coordinate grid..
OpenStudy (arabpride):
It would help if we gave her ONE way to solve it lel cx

what is the value of the y-intercept?
the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes it would lol
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
ugh.. .-. ok so i plug in 0 ?
3*0 - 2y = -18
hartnn (hartnn):
yes, continue
hartnn (hartnn):
3*0 =0
divide throughout by -2

3 *0 - 2y = -18
0 - 2y = -18
correct ?
hartnn (hartnn):
yes
OpenStudy (triciaal):
yes
hartnn (hartnn):
y = -18/-2 = 18/2 = ..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yupppp

so its 9
hartnn (hartnn):
correct :)
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
-18 / -2 = 9

Thank you.
