Question

What is the Y intercept of 8X plus 4Y equals -48

Answer 1

the given equation is,

`8x+4y=-48`

Now, we will solve it further,

`\begin{gathered} 8x+4y=-48 \\ 4y=-8x-48 \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} y=(-8x-48)/(4) \\ y=-2x-12 \end{gathered}`

Now, we will put x=0 to get the intercept of the line on the Y axis,

`\begin{gathered} y=-2x-12 \\ y=-2*0-12 \\ y=-12 \end{gathered}`

So, the Y-intercept of the given line equation is -12.
