Question

The equation of a line is 5x − 3y = 6. Which is the y-intercept of the line?

A)y = 2
B)y = 1
C)y = 5/3
D)y = −2


​

Answer 1

y - intercept. = 2.

Explanation:

Given : The equation of a line is 5x − 3y = 6.

To find : Which is the y-intercept of the line.

Solution : We have given 5x − 3y = 6.

Equation of line y = mx +b

Where , m = slope , y intercept = b

Now we convert the 5x − 3y = 6 in line form y = mx +b

5x − 3y = 6

On subtracting both sides by 5x

-3x = - 5x + 6

On dividing both sides by - 3.

x =
`(5x)/(3)+2`.

We cans see m =
`(5)/(3)` , y - intercept. = 2.

Therefore, y - intercept. = 2.
