What is the y-intercept of the line given by the equation below? Enter your answer as an ordered pair and enter any fractions using the slash mark ( / ) for the fraction bar. 

y =7/4x+1/3

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

The y-intercept will be the number that is stated on the Y- AXIS. which one do you think it is?

will.h · Answer

a linear equation has the following formula 
yh = mx + b 
where m is the slope and b is the y intercept 
so i assume that would make it clear enough

will.h · Answer

y = mx + b forget about the h so your y intercept is 1/3

yourboydusty · Answer

but how is it 1/3... what about the rest of the problem?

yanasidlinskiy · Answer

The rest of the problem is the slope, Dusty. The question is asking for the y-intercept, which is in an ordered pair, (1/3)

will.h · Answer

that is a whole linear equation they just want the y intercept

yourboydusty · Answer

oh ok...so the answer
 was in the problem.

will.h · Answer

yes
