The equation of a line is x + 3y = 14.

What is the y-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

The y-intercept means where does the line cross the y-axis (the vertical axis)
that happens when x is 0
if we make x be 0 in the equation
x+3y=14
0+3y=14

adding zero does not change the sum, so we can just write
3y= 14

to find "y" , divide both sides by 3
can you do that ?

Answer 2

I don't know how too.

Answer 3

@Yuii The above user laid out the steps very well for you. At this point, all you need to do is isolate y, which can be done by dividing both sides by 3 (as they have stated).

So it would look a little like this:

3y = 14
/3 /3


Everything should fall in to place after you do this, let me know if this makes sense to you.
