Question

Can someone check my answer please?

On the graph of the equation 3x + 2y = 18, what is the value of the y-intercept?

-9
-6
6 (My answer choice )
9

Answer 1

9

Answer 2

1) set x=0 (i.e. substitute 0 instead of x)
2) solve for y

OR

1) re-write the equation of the line in a y-intercept form. (i.e. y=mx+b)
2) set x=0 (i.e. substitute 0 instead of x)

Answer 3

Could you explain please? I used x=2 and plugged it in for x and got 6.

Answer 4

you have to use x=0.I will explain why....

Answer 5

y-intercept is when the graph of the line hits the y-axis, and that would happen when x=0 (because y-axis and the line x=0 is the same thing)

do you agree?

Answer 6

(not necessarily the graph of a LINE, but in this case, a line)

Answer 7

Oh okay! I understand thank you :) Would you mind helping me with another? I'm so terrible at math :(
