Question

The y-intercept of the line whose equation is 2x - 3y = 6 is-236

Answer 1

Solution

We are given the equation

$2x-3y=6$

Basically, in order to find the y - intercept, we only need to put x = 0

$\begin{gathered} 2x-3y=6 \\ 2(0)-3y=6 \\ 0-3y=6 \\ 3y=-6 \\ divide\text{ through by 3} \\ \frac{3y}{3}=-\frac{6}{3} \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is

$-2$
