Question

The y-intercept of the line whose equation is 2x - 3y = 6 is

Answer 1

Whenever you are to find out the y-intercept, you always (or like almost all the time) have the point for x as 0:
(0, y)

In this equation what you would do is substitute x for 0.
2(0) - 3y = 6

Then what you can do is solve for y and figure out your y-intercept.

Answer 2

Did you get the value for y?

Answer 3

I got y= -2. Is that correct?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Write the equation of the line, in standard form, that has an x-intercept of 2 and is parallel to 2x + y = -5.
