y-intercept


To find the y-intercept, plug in x=0 and solve for y


-2x%2B2y=12 Start with the given equation.


-2%280%29%2B2y=12 Plug in x=0.


-0%2B2y=12 Multiply -2 and 0 to get 0.


2y=12 Simplify.


y=%2812%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y.


y=6 Reduce.


So the y-intercept is .
