Question

Find the y-intercepect of the graph of: y-6=3/8x also find the slope

Answer 1

We are given the following equation:

$y-6=\frac{3}{8}x$

The general form of a line equation in slope-intercept form is the following:

$y=mx+b$

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

To take the given equation to the slope-intercept form we need to add 6 to both sides:

$\begin{gathered} y-6+6=\frac{3}{8}x+6 \\ y=\frac{3}{8}x+6 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the y-intercept is 6, and the slope is 3/8.
