Question 949704
{{{ graph( 800, 800, -15, 15, -15, 15, -2x^2-12x-14) }}}
The graph of the equation {{{-2x^2 -12x -14}}} crosses the y axis at -14.
The point (or points) where the graph crosses the y axis is the y-intercept, also determined by setting x to zero: {{{-2(0)^2-12(0)-14=y}}}={{{-14=y}}}. If the graph does not cross the y axis, there is no y intercept.Example: vertical lines, such as x=1 are not solvable for x=0.
