A
-intercept cannot be a number. The
-intercept of a line is the point where the line intercepts (intersects or crosses, if you would rather) the
-axis. The word "point" being the operative word. A point in
is designated by an ordered pair. A
-intercept, in general terms, is an ordered pair of the form
.
Hence your question, properly posed would be either:
"Write an equation representing a set of ordered pairs that comprise a line with a slope of 6 and a
-intercept of
"
or
"Write an equation representing a set of ordered pairs that comprise a line with a slope of 6 and a
-coordinate of the
-intercept equal to
"
Is an equation of a line with a slope of
and where
is the
-coordinate of the
-intercept.
