Question

What is the y-intercept of the function below?
2x - 3y = 12

Answer 1

(0,-4) is the y-intercept

Answer 2

The slope is −23

Explanation:

You can use the intercepts to graph the line. The graph of 2x + 3y = 12 crosses the x-axis at (6, 0), so its x-intercept is 6. The graph of 2x + 3y = 12 crosses the y-axis at (0, 4), so its y-intercept is 4.
