Question

What is the y-intercept of the linear equation x-3y=-6?
0 -6
0 -3
О 0
O 12

Answer 1

i’m not sure about the answer choices you have there but the answer should be 2

to find the y intercept, you have to first make your equation into a slope intercept form

to do that, add subtract x from both sides

you’ll get: -3y= -x-6

then to get y alone, you divide -3 from both sides

you’ll get: y= x/3 + 2

this is now in slope intercept form and our constant, which is the y intercept, is 2
