Question

What is the y-intercept of y = 2/3x + 2

A) (2, 3)
B) (3, 2)
C) (0, 2)
D) (-3, 0)

Answer 1

C) (0, 2) is your answer

Explanation:

Note the equation:

y = mx + b is the equation used in y = (2/3)x + 2

m is the slope ; b is the y-intercept.

You are solving for the y -intercept, which is b. b = 2, therefore, 2 is your y.

Also note that when you are solving for the y-intercept, x must = 0 (& vice versa for when you are solving for x -intercept.)

Answer 2

C) (0, 2)

Explanation:

y = 2/3x + 2

This is in the form y = mx+b

b is the y intercept

We have the y intercept when x=0

(0,b)

(0,2)
