Question

What is the y-intercept for the graph of this line? 3x - 5y = 6 - 6

Answer 1

The right side of the equation is 6-6 which equals 0.

So the equation could be written as 3x-5y = 0

Since the right side of the equation is zero both the x and y intercepts are (0,0)

Answer 2

Simplify the expression:

3x - 5y = 6 - 6

3x - 5y = 0

Change from standard form [ ax + by = c ] to slope intercept form [ y = mx + b ].

3x - 5y = 0

3x - 3x - 5y = 0 - 3x

-5y = -3x

-5y/-5 = -3x/-5

y = -3/5x

This equation doesn't have a "b" variable so that means that the y-intercept is (0, 0)

Best of Luck!
