find the y-intercept of the graph in this equation?
\n" ); document.write( "9y+9x=-27
\n" ); document.write( "
9y + 9x = - 27 
\n" );
document.write( "y + x = - 3 ------- Dividing by GCF, 9
\n" );
document.write( "y = - x - 3 ------- Subtracting x
\n" );
document.write( "It's obvious, from the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b), that b, or intercept = - 3
\n" );
document.write( "Thus, y-intercept is at coordinate point: \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C3%2C+%22%280%22%2C+%22%2C%22%2C+%22-3%29%22%29%29\"
\n" );
document.write( "OR
\n" );
document.write( "Since x is ALWAYS 0 on the y-axis, you could have also just substituted 0 for x and find y. Then you'd get the y-intercept as: (0, y). \n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
