Y-Intercept?

Question

What is the y-intercept of: y-6=3x

Answer 1

The equation is y-6=3x
For you to find the y- intercept of this equation, you must make this equation in the format of a linear equation:

y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is the y- intercept, and y and x are the coordinates.
here the m=3(because it is attached to the x term)

now convert the above equation into y=mx+b format.

y=3x+6
y=mx+b

Therefore b=6...
Therefore, because the b is the y intercept, the y- intercept is 6

Answer 2

6

Answer 3

y-6=3x

If you want y intercept the you have to put x=0 in above equation
then y-6=3*0
so y-6=0
y=6 Ans.

Answer 4

Another way to find the y-intercept is to put the equation into y=mx+b form. The b is the y-intercept.

y - 6 = 3x

Add 6 to both sides

y = 3x + 6
y = mx + b

6 is the b. Therefore the y-intercept is 6.

Answer 5

First: solve for "y" and keep it on one side > add 6 to both sides:

y - 6 + 6 = 3x + 6
y = 3x + 6

Second: the y-intercept is the number/fraction after the "x" >

y-int = 6

Answer 6

The y intercept is where the graph of the function intercepts the y axis. You just have to put x=0. by doing so you have y=6.

TIP: Just look at the graph and you'll understand why this is done. Never memorize formulas without getting them: you might forget them and need to be able to re-find them.

Answer 7

Your first step is to add 6 from both sides:
y=3x+6

Substitute 0 for x:
y=3(0)+6
y=6

The y-intercept is 6.

Answer 8

A function cuts the y axis when x = 0

So Y = 3x + 6

Put x = 0 in

Y = 3(0) + 6

Y=6

So the coordinate of the y intercept is (0,6)

Answer 9

Y intercept is. when the value of x is 0.

Therefore, y=6.

Answer 10

put equation in form y=mx+b where b is y intercept. thusly:
y=3x+6
so 6 is the y intercept

(How? By comparing general form of equation and specific equation, you see that b=6.)
