Question

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

Answer 1

To find the y-intercept, let x = 0.

0 - 3y = -6

-3y = -6

y = 2

The y-intercept of the equation is the point (0, 2).

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

Solve the equation for y. First subtract x from both sides then divide by -3. The result is y=1/3x+2 with the number "2" representing the y-intercept.
