Hello!

To find the y-intercept of any given equation, we will need to substitute zero into any x-value.

y = 7/6x - 8/3 (substitute x = 0)

y = 7/6(0) - 8/3 (multiply)

y = -8/3

Since x was substituted as zero, the ordered pair should look like (0, y), where y is the y-intercept.

Therefore, the y-intercept of the given equation is (0, -8/3).
