Question

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -4x + 12?

Answer 1

The y-intercept is 12.

Explanation:

Standard linear equation is y = mx + b, where x and y are simply x and y values, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

Plug in the values.

y = mx + b

y = -4 (slope) x + 12 (y-intercept)
