Question 1

MUTLULEPL ON Find the y-intercept of the following equation. Simplify your answer. . 8x + 6y = 5 y-intercept Submit

Question 2

$\text{Answer: intercept is }(5)/(6)\text{ or }0.833$

$\begin{gathered} We\text{ are given the equation of a straight line} \\ 8x\text{ + 6y = 5} \\ \text{The standard form of slope - intercept equation is given as} \\ y\text{ = mx + b: where m = slope and b = intercept} \\ \operatorname{Re}\text{ - arrange the equation} \\ 8x\text{ + 6y = 5} \\ 6y\text{ = 5 - 8x} \\ 6y\text{ = -8x + 5} \\ \text{Divide through by 6} \\ (6y)/(6)\text{ = }(-8x)/(6)\text{ + }(5)/(6) \\ y\text{ = -}(8x)/(6)\text{ + }(5)/(6) \\ \text{Intercept is }(5)/(6)\text{ or 0.833} \end{gathered}$
