Question

Given the linear function of 3x – 7y= 14, determine the ordered pair where the line

crosses the y axis. Remember to write your answer in form (x,y)

Answer 1

the problem is (0,-2)

Answer 2

(0, -2)

Explanation:

Crosses the y-axis = find the y-intercept. Substitute x = 0 (if you draw a graph, you can see that the point where y crosses the y axis is always 0 for x) into the equation, and you get 3(0) - 7y = 14. Calculate, you get y = -2. Rewrite in coordinates form.
