Question

2. What is the Y intercept of the equation Y = 3X + 8

Answer 1

The y-intercept of any equation is where the function crosses the y-axis.

It is the point where x=0

So determine the y-interceot of the given line you have to calculate the value of y when x equals zero:

`\begin{gathered} y=3x+8 \\ y=3\cdot0+8 \\ y=8 \end{gathered}`

The coordinates of the y-intercept are (0,8)
