Question

Print Worksheet What are the coordinates of the y-intercept of the equation 5x-3y=2?

Answer 1

(0, -2/3)

Explanation:

5x-3y=2

rearrange into slope intercept form

-3y = -5x + 2

divide both sides by -3

y = 5x/3 - 2/3

y = mx + b

(0,b) is the y-intercept

therefor the coordinates of y-intercept is (0, -2/3)
