Find the y-intercept. x+6y=-12?

Answer 1

y Intercept

let

x = 0

x + 6y = - 12

0 + 6y = - 12

6y = - 12

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

6y / 6 = - 12 / 6

y = - 12 / 6

y = - 2

Y intercept is - 2

- - - - - - - - - -

x + 6y = - 12

Transpose x

x + 6y - x = - x - 12

6y = - x - 12

Divide both sides of the equation by 6

6y / 6 = x / 6 - 12 / 6

y = x / 6 - 12 / 6

y = 1/6x - 2

Answer 2

To find the y intercept first solve for y. So x + 6y = -12 you would subtract an x from both sides making 6y = -x - 12. Then divide both sides by 6. So y = -x/6 - 2. Then put 0 in for x to find the y intercept and you get y = (-0)/6 -2 so y = -2. The y intercept is -2.

Answer 4

You can do it two ways: the easy way like Rackbrane showed and substitute zero for x, or you can rearrange the equation into the slope-intercept form:

x + 6y = -12
6y = -x - 12
y = (-1/6)x - 2
y = (-1/6)x + (-2)

the slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so in this case b = -2, so the y-intercept is (0, -2).

Answer 5

To find the y-intercept, put x = 0:
6y = -12
y = -2.
The intercept is (0, -2).
