Question

Find the value of the y-intercept of the line whose equation is 20x - 22y = 88.

Answer 1

The y intercept is the point at which the line crosses the y axis. In order to find this point x must be 0. To solve this problem, start by plugging in 0 for x. You should get -22y = 88. Then divide both sides by -22. Your final answer should be y=-4

Answer 2

Answer: The value of the y-intercept of the line is (0,4).

Explanation:

The y-intercept is the point on the graph where it intersects the y-axis. It means the x-coordinate of y-intercept is zero .

Let (0, y) be the y-intercept for the given line with equation
`20x - 22y = 88` ,

Then put x=0 , we get

`20(0)-22(y)=88\\\\\Rightarrow\ 22y=88\\\\\Rightarrow y= (88)/(22)=4`

Hence, the value of the y-intercept of the line is (0,4).
