Question

What is the Y intercept of 6x-4y=12?

Answer 1

`y` intercept is `-3`

Explanation:

`6x-4y=12`

Method - 1

At `x=0`;
`6(0)-4y=12`
`-4y=12`
`y=12/(-4)=-3`

Method - 2

Solve the equation for `y` to have the equation in the intercept form
`-4y=12-6x`

Divide both sides by `-4`
`y=(12-6x)/(-4)`
`y=12/(-4)-(6x)/(-4)`
`y=-3+3/2x`
