what is the y-intercept of the line whose equation is y=1/2x-3..please help me!
----
Note: The y-axis is the line x = 0.
-------
To find the y-intercept of an equation
let x = 0, then solve for "y":
Your Problem:
y = (1/2)x - 3
---
Let x = 0
y = (1/2)0 - 3
y = 0-3
y = -3
================
y-intercept:: (0,-3)
