Question

Identify the y-intercept: 6 - 2y = -6

Answer 1

Finding the y-intercept

We know that the equation of a line is given by

y = mx + b, where m and b are numbers:

m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.

In this case we have the equation:

6 - 2y = - 6

We clear y so we can identify m and b

6 - 2y = -6​

6 = -6​ + 2y

6 + 6​ = 2y

12 = 2y

12/2 = y

6 = y

In this case

y = 6

Then m=0 and b = 6

Then, the y-intercept is b =6
