Question

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

Answer 1

In order to find the y intercept you must substitute 0 for x and solve for y, and also simplify if needed.

`y=-6x-3`

`y=-6*0-3`

`-6*0-3`

`y=0-3`

`-6* 0 = 0`

`0-3=-3`

`= -3`

`y = (0,-3)`

Therefore your answer is " y = (0,-3)."

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

y = -3 or (0,-3)

Explanation:

y intercept is when x is 0 so substitute 0 for x:

y=-6(0)-3=0-3=-3

y = -3
