Answer 2

Well, the coordinates have to have a x value of 0, since it is the y-intercept, so what choices does that mark out?

Answer 3

idk how to do any of this

Answer 4

at the y-intercet the value of x coordinate is 0 so its either A or D.

to find the other coordinate y replace x with 0 in the equation and calculate y

3y + 2(0) = 12

find y

Answer 5

3y + 0 = 12
3y = 12

y = ?

Answer 6

divide both sides of the equation by 3 and you'll get y

Answer 7

4

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

so the y intercept is at the point (0,4)
