Question 217062: What is the y-intercept of the line in the equation y=-2/3x-12.
Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Because
y=-2/3x-12
is already in the "slope-intercept" form of
y = mx + b
where
m is slope
b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
.
From inspection then
b = -12
therefore the y-intercept is
(0, -12)
