Question

The equation of the line is x+4y=15
what is the y-intercept or the line

Answer 1

the y-intercept of the line is 15/4 or 3.75.

Explanation:

To find the y-intercept of the line with the equation x + 4y = 15, we can set x to 0 and solve for y.

When x = 0, the equation becomes:

0 + 4y = 15

Simplifying the equation:

4y = 15

y = 15/4

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 15/4 or 3.75.

Answer 2

The y-intercept of the line x+4y=15 is 15/4.

Explanation:

Eq. of line--> x+4y=15

The point where the line crosses the axis of the graph is called the intercept of the line.

To find the y-intercept, we need to find the point at which the line

x+4y=15 meets the y-axis. Let's call this point P(x1,y1).

Since point P lies on the y-axis, the x-coordinate of P will be 0

x1=0

Since point P satisfies the equation x+4y=15.

-->x1 + 4y1 =15

-->0+ 4y1 =15

-->4y1 =15

-->y1 =15/4

Therefore, point P(0, 15/4)

Hence, the y-intercept of the line x+4y=15 is 15/4
