Graph the equation and identify the y-intercept. y = 3/2x + 4
The y-intercept is?
The equation y=3/2*x + 4 is in slope intercept form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b (the y intercept) is the value of y where the line crosses the y-axis (that is, when x=0).
So, in this case, the slope of the line is 3/2 and the line crosses the y-axis at (0,b)=(0,4). Use this information to graph the line.
