Question

.
What is the y intercept of the line represented by the equation
3x+2y = 6?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

To identify the y-intercept represented by the given equation, we need to get the equation into slope-intercept from:

`y=mx+b`

`m=slope`

`b=y-intercept`

Start with:

`3x+2y=6`

Subtract
`3x` from both sides of the equation:

`2y=-3x+6`

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of
`y`, which is
`2`:

`y=-1.5x+3`

Identify the y-intercept:

`b=3`
