Question

Which line has an y-intercept of -2

Answer 1

The y-intercept is found when x is set to 0.

Set x to equal 0 for both equations:


`3(0) - 2y = -6`

`-2y = -6`

Divide both sides by -2:


`y = 3`

The y-intercept of this equation is 3, so the first line does not have the y-intercept of -2.

-

`0 + 2y = -2`

`2y = -2`

Divide both sides by 2:


`y = -1`

The y-intercept of this equation is -1, so the second line does not have the y-intercept of -2.

Neither line has a y-intercept of -2.
