Question

Identify the y-intercept

1.)v^2 - 11v+30=0

2.) v^2 + 2v - 8=0

Answer 1

We know that y-intercepts are the values found when x=0;

1) v²-11v+30=y <-- replace 0 as y and substitute x=0
(0)²-11(0)+30=y
30=y

The y-intercept is 30 here.

2) v²+2v-8=y <-- repeat the above steps
(0)²+2(0)-8=y
-8=y

The y-intercept is -8 here

As you can notice, the c value in the standard equation (ax²+bx+c=y) is the y-intercept.

Hope I helped :)
