What is the y-intercept of line 2x + 3y=6?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Manipulate the given equation into the \"slop-intercept\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m is the slope
\n" ); document.write( "b is the y-intercept at (0,b)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Starting with:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y=6
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 2x from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "3y = -2x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "dividing both sides by 3:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-2/3)x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the y-intercept is at (0,2)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "********************************************
\n" ); document.write( "Another method:
\n" ); document.write( "Simply set x=0 and solve for y:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y=6
\n" ); document.write( "2(0) + 3y=6
\n" ); document.write( "3y=6
\n" ); document.write( "y = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the y-intercept is at (0,2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
