What would be the Y-intercept of 2x + 3y = 1470
3y = -2x + 1470
y= -2/3 + 490
I have to make a graph. And can't figure this out.

Question

What would be the Y-intercept of 2x + 3y = 1470
                                                3y = -2x + 1470
                                                 y= -2/3 + 490

anonymous · Answer

first, set x=0, then solve for Y

anonymous · Answer

Okay, thank you so much for helping!!!

anonymous · Answer

Okay my y- intercept is  490

anonymous · Answer

what would be the rise/ run ?

anonymous · Answer

okay, to get that, you can subtract the 2x and move it to the other side of the equation. then you would divide by three, and that will give you the equation you need.

anonymous · Answer

Okay. So it would be -2 / 3? rise/ run?

anonymous · Answer

Is this correct?

anonymous · Answer

yeah, thats what i got while doing the problem

anonymous · Answer

Thank you sooooo much!

anonymous · Answer

Would I start in the middle of the graph?

anonymous · Answer

well, you would start at the y-intercept, 490, and then go down 2 and then right 3(i cant really show you how to do this cos i dont have the software to)

anonymous · Answer

On a graph like this, where would I start at?

anonymous · Answer

Can you see the graph?
