Question

15. Determine the y-intercept for the following equation
4x + 2y = -12

Answer 1

y intercept = -6

x intercept = -3

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

Subtract 4x from both sides

4x-4x + 2y = -4x - 12

2y = - 4x - 12

Divide by 2

2y/2 = -4x/2 - 12/2

y = -2x - 6

The y intercept happens when x = 0

y intercept is - 6

or 0,-6
