unit 3 lesson 7
given the equation y=3/4x-2 what is the y-intercept? write your answer as an ordered pair.
the y-intercept is (_)
The y-intercept can be found by setting x = 0 in the equation and solving for y.
Substituting x = 0 into the equation y = (3/4)x - 2:
y = (3/4)(0) - 2
y = 0 - 2
y = -2
Therefore, the y-intercept is the point (0, -2).
To find the y-intercept of the equation y = (3/4)x - 2, we need to understand that the y-intercept is the point where the graph of the equation intersects the y-axis.
In the equation y = (3/4)x - 2, the y-intercept occurs when x = 0. To find the y-coordinate when x = 0, we can substitute this value into the equation:
y = (3/4)(0) - 2
Simplifying, we have:
y = 0 - 2
y = -2
Therefore, the y-intercept is at the point (0, -2).
To find the y-intercept of the equation y = (3/4)x - 2, we set x = 0 and solve for y.
Substituting x = 0 into the equation, we have:
y = (3/4)(0) - 2
y = 0 - 2
y = -2
Therefore, the y-intercept is (0, -2).
