Question

Given: 5x - 6y = 1. What is the y-intercept?

-1/6 , 0)
(0, -1/6)
(0, 1/6)
(1/6, 0)

Answer 1

0,-1/6

Explanation:

For clarification reasons, remove 5x out of the equation. This leaves -6y=1. After completing this step, then you have to get Y by itself: -6y/-6. This leaves Y as a positive and therefore Y=?. To complete the equation you must then divide 1 by -6 as the algebraic rule states "what you do to one side you must do to the other". After you have completed these steps, the equation simply states Y= -1/6.

Answer 2

The answer to your question is (0, -1/6)

Explanation:

Given 5x - 6y = 1

To find the answer to this question, just evaluate the equation when x equals 0.

If x = 0 then 5(0) - 6y = 1

Simplify -6y = 1

Divide both sides by -6

-6y/-6 = 1/-6

Simplify and result y = -1/6

Write the answer a a point (0, -1/6)
