Find the y-intercept of the line with the equation 2x-6y=15
----------
Here are two ways to work the problem:
1st: To find the y-intercept let x=0:
You get -6y = 15; y = -5/2
-------------------
2nd: Put the equation in slope-intercept form:
6y = 2x-15
Divide both sides by 6 to get:
y = (1/3)x-(5/2)
y-intercept is -5/2
