Question

If the equation of a line is y= - 2/3 x - 2 at what.point on the graph would I find the y- intercept?

Answer 1

(0, -2)

Explanation:

The slope equation is written as y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In this equation the slope, which is m, is -2/3 and the y-intercept is -2, which is the value of b. So the y-intercept on the graph would be found at point (0, -2)

Answer 2

Let y = mx +b, where m is the slope of the equation and b is the y-intercept.

So from the equation
`y=-(2)/(3)x-2` You'd find the y-intercept at (0,2). Alternative way, you can find the y-intercept by substituting x = 0 so -2x/3 will be 0 because x = 0 and -2x(0)/3 = 0-2 = -2.

So from the y = mx + b, you would find the y-intercept at (0,b)
