Question

What is the y intercept of the line given by the equation below? y=4x-3

Answer 1

Explanation:

The y intercept of any equation that is a function is the y value taken on when x = 0

So in this case it is y = - 3 because 4*0 = 0. All that is left for y is y = -3.

The point of interception is (0.-3). The way to confirm many answers is to graph the point.

Answer 2

y-intercept of y=4x-3 is -3

Explanation:

The given equation is:

y = 4x -3

The equation is in slope-intercept form.

The standard equation of slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So, comparing the given equation with the standard equation the y-intercept is -3

y-intercept of y=4x-3 is -3
