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

(0, -2)

Explanation:

The equation of y axis is x = 0. So, the y intercept is located at point (0, b). Therefore we can substitute 0 into x in the given equation to find b and hence the coordinates of the y intercept.

3x - 7y = 14

3*0 - 7y = 14

-7y = 14

y = -2
