What does the y intercept? I think it is x=0, y=2. I need the answer for y. Thanks for all your help.

yes if you replace x by 0 you find y=2

if you put y=0 then 0= 3/4x+2, 2=-3/4x and x= 8/3

So draw aline between the points
A y=2 , x=0 and B = y=0 x=-8/3

You are correct, the y-intercept is (0,2)
There are 2 easy ways to get this.
Way#1- Whenever you have the linear equation in slope-intercept form, as is the case here, the constant
term in the equation, again in this case, 2, is the
y-intercept. It is +2, so the intercept of the y-axis occurs 2 units above the origin. On the y-axis, x is always 0,
so the coordinates are (0,2).
Way#2- When the y-axis is intercepted, x has a value
of 0. Set x=0 in the linear equation, and find y.
For this equation, y=(3/4)x+2, it becomes
y=(3/4)(0)+2
y=2
Again, we get (0,2).

This equation is written in what's stated as slope/intercept type; y=mx+b, the place m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the factor at which x=0. subsequently, you have a factor on your line already: (0, 2). The slope is the substitute in y over the substitute in x. To get yet another factor, you upload the substitute in y, 3, to the y of yet another factor, and upload the substitute in x, 4, to the x of the aforementioned "different factor" on the line. considering which you be attentive to that (0, 2) is a factor, upload 0 and four, and 2 and 3. 0+4=4. 2+3=5. subsequently, (4, 5) is yet another factor on the line. Then, merely draw a today line connecting (0, 2) and (4, 5).

If you mean "what IS the y intercept?" then the answer is 2. But If you mean "what DOES the y intercept" the the answer is y=2 and x= -8/3. I hope that helps you out.

The y-intercept is correct. To graph, choose points x=-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5
evaluate y=-3/4 x +2 and plot. The source below draws graphs that you can check.

when,x=0 then y=3/4(0)+2=2 so when x=0 , y=2
when x=1 then y=3/4(1)+2=11/4 or 2 3/4 so when x=1,y=11/4
when x=2 then y=3/4(2)+2=7/2 or 3 1/2 so when x=2,y=7/2
when x=3 then y=3/4(3)+2=17/4 or 4 1/4 so when x=3,y=17/4

Assume question is meant to read as:-
y = (3/4) x + 2 (and not as written)
y intercept is when x = 0
y intercept is y = 2

2007-10-03 03:59:35 · answer #7 · answered by Como 7 · 1 0

this form is called the y-intercept form....

to find your y-intercept you need to input 0 for your x as that is where it will cross the y axis.

y = 3/4(0) + 2

y = 2

so your point is (0 , 2)

a easier way is that as long as you have it in this form

y = mx + b

your y-intercept is your constant b
your slope is m

remember that and match up the equation
