Question 351010
<h4>y-intercept</h4>

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



{{{-2x+2y=12}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-2(0)+2y=12}}} Plug in {{{x=0}}}.



{{{-0+2y=12}}} Multiply {{{-2}}} and 0 to get 0.



{{{2y=12}}} Simplify.



{{{y=(12)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=6}}} Reduce.



So the y-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,6\right)].
