Explanation:

Question - Find the y-intercept of the following equation. Simplify your answer.

We write graphical equation as:

y = mx + b

where:

y: point on y axis

m: gradient/ slope (RISE/RUN)

x: point on x axis

b: y intercept (point where the line touches the y axis)

Now in:

y = –6 7 x + 5 9

y-intercept = 59

Answer 2

Y-intercept: 59

Explanation:

Y=mx+b, in which b stands for y intercept
