Question

Find the y - intercept of the line:

8
y=-3 -
7
Select one:
O a. 5/3
O b. - 5/3
O c.8/7.
O d. - 877

Answer 1

d.
`-(8)/(7)`

Explanation:

The y-intercept value in a given equation in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b sis represented by b.

Thus, given the line
`y = (-5x)/(3) - (8)/(7)`, the value of b (y-intercept) is represented as
`-(8)/(7)`.

It is the value of y when x = 0.

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is
`-(8)/(7)`.
