Question

Find the y-intercept of the equation: 3x -y = 3. Write your answer in ordered pair.

Answer 1

Given :-

• A equation 3x - y = 3

To Find :-

• The value of y intercept .

Answer :-

The given equation is ,

`\sf\longrightarrow` 3x - y = 3

This is in standard form , on converting it into slope intercept form we have ,

`\sf\longrightarrow` y = 3x - 3

As we know that the slope intercept form of the line is ,

`\sf\longrightarrow` y = mx + c

• Where c is the y intercept .

So on comparing , we have ,

`\sf\longrightarrow` y intercept = -3

Hence the required answer is -3.

Answer 2

• (0, -3)

Explanation:

Given line:

• 3x - y = 3

The y-intercept is the point of intersection with the y-axis, when x- coordinate is zero:

• 3*0 - y = 3
• - y = 3
• y = -3

The y-intercept is (0, - 3)
