Question

What is the y intercept of the line -3x+2y=6?

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

First, put it in y intercept form.

-3x+2y=6

+3x+2y=3x+6

2y= 3x+6

2y/2= y

3x+6/2 = 1.5x+3

y= 1.5x+3

The y intercept is always a whole number; in this case, 3.

The problem is currently in y intercept *FORM*. The y intercept is 3.

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

We are given the following equation of a line and we are to tell its y intercept:

`-3x + 2y = 6`

We know that the standard form of the equation of a line is in the following form:

`y =mx+c`

where
`c` is the y-intercept.

So converting the given equation in the form of the standard equation to get:

`2y = 3x + 6`

`y = (3)/(2)x + (6)/(2)`

`y = (3)/(2) x+3`

Therefore, the y-intercept for the equation is 3.
