Question

What is the y-intercept for this linear equation `1/2x - 2/3y = -6`?

Answer 1

The y-intercept is `9`

Explanation:

The y-intercept (the value where the equation's line crosses the y-axis) is the value of `y` when `x=0`.

`1/2x-2/3y = -6`

becomes
`color(white)("XXXX")` `-2/3y = -6`
`rArr`
`color(white)("XXXX")` `y=9`
