im confused

OpenStudy (steve816):

\[\large 5x+2y=2\]\[\large 5(0)+2y=2\]\[\large 2y=2\]\[\large y =1\] 5 x + 2y = 2 will have a y intercept of 1.

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the question is asking which option will have a value of y = 1 when x = 0?

OpenStudy (steve816):

Yes, you simply plug in 0 for x and see if y = 1.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

how do i plug in

OpenStudy (steve816):

All you have to do is cancel out the x-terms, as you saw in my example.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

2x + 5y = 8 2(0) + 5y = 8 5y = 8 how did u get the last one

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

2y=2 y=1

OpenStudy (steve816):

5y = 8 y = 8/5 So the above equation would have a y intercept at 8/5, which is clearly not 1.

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

ohh okay. ty

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

5x + 2y = 2 5(0) + 2y = 2 2y = 2 1

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

so thats the eanswer?

OpenStudy (steve816):

Yup, that is right!

OpenStudy (jamaljunior):

thanks guys
