Answer:To find the y-intercept of the line given by the equation `y = (6/7)x - (9/8)`, we set x=0 and solve for y:

y = (6/7)(0) - (9/8) = -9/8

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -9/8.

Answer:


\left(0,- (9)/(8)\right)

Explanation:

The y-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

This happens when x is equal to 0.

To find the y-intercept of the equation
\sf y =(6)/(7)x - (9)/(8) , we can set x to 0 and solve for y:


\sf y =(6)/(7)\cdot 0 - (9)/(8)


\sf y =- (9)/(8)

Therefore, the y-intercept of the equation is
\left(0,- (9)/(8)\right)
