Question 253685


<h4>y-intercept</h4>

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



{{{8x-2y=6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8(0)-2y=6}}} Plug in {{{x=0}}}.



{{{0-2y=6}}} Multiply {{{8}}} and 0 to get 0.



{{{-2y=6}}} Simplify.



{{{y=(6)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=-3}}} Reduce.



So the y-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,-3\right)].
