4x + 3y = 60
4x + 3y - 4x = - 4x + 60
3y = - 4x + 60
3y / 3 = - 4x / 3 + 60 / 3
y = - 4/3x + 20

ok, the following is going. i'd no longer be a real contributer yet i'm hardly ever incorrect: The y-intercept is the point on a line the position it crosses the y axis. The y axis is the vertical line. first issues first although; placed the equation into slope intercept kind. to objective this: a million)keep in mind that once putting and equation into slope intercept kind, y continually needs its bubble area. so subtract a negative 4x from both area. 4x+3y=60 -4x -4x the 4x and the -4x cancel one yet another out you eventually end up with: 3y=-4x+60 divide both area by 3: 3/3y=-4/3x+60/3 now you get: 3 divided by 3 is a million you go away -4/3 as is and 60 divided by 3 is 20 so your answer is: y= -4/3x+20 that's slope -intercept kind and that's slope-intercept formula: y=mx+b the position the b is the y-intercept and m is the slope the x is the x that comes after the range the slope is such as contained in the equation y= -4/3x+20 see the x? reliable. that's basically there to allow you to comprehend the distinction between the slope and the y-intercept. The slope is the only with the x after it. and so, you could finish that the y-intercept is none except 20. so y=20! ______________________________________... yet another, and far extra extra ordinary way for me: a million) "conceal" the variable you aren't from now on fixing for with you finger or some thing . therefore, you aren't from now on fixing for 4x. So conceal that. yet in a distinct way might want to be to in ordinary words replace the x with a nil. 4 situations 0= 0 2) Now, all you will see that (or are left with) is 3y=60 Divide both area by 3 with the intention to isolate the variable y. 3) Your answer is y=20 So your y-intercept is 20! :-) i desire i helped; and that i'm confident about this answer. once you've any extra questions, be at liberty to the contact me and deliver me an e mail. p.s. i'm 13 yet i'm loopy reliable at math. i'm in Math a million-4!!!

4x + 3y = 60
The direct straightforward way to solve for the y-intercept is to make x = 0 and solve for y. Similarly, to solve for the x-intercept, make y = 0 and solve for x.
If y = 0:
4x + 3(0) = 60
4x = 60
x = 15, so the x-intercept is 15.
If x = 0:
4(0) + 3y = 60
0 + 3y = 60
3y = 60
y = 20, so the y-intercept is 20.

To find x-intercept, set y=0. 4x=60 so x=15.
To find y-intercept, set x=0. 3y=60 so y=20.

solve the equation for either X or Y. Plug in 0 for both X and Y and you will have at least to points (one on the X axis and one on the Y axis). After you have all your points plug them into the equation so that they equal to 60.
