What is the y-intercept of the line with the equation?
You should recognize that the given equation is in the point-slope form.
In order to find the y-intercept, rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form,
.
Since,
, the y-intercept must be located at .Example Question #77 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept
True or false: The lines of the equations
and
have the same
-intercept.True
False
False
The
-intercept of a line is the point at which it intersects the -axis; its -coordinate at this point is 0, so its -coordinate can be found by substituting 0 for in the equation and solving for . Do this with both equations:
The
-intercept of the line is at .
The
-intercept of the line is at .The two lines have different
-intercepts.Example Question #78 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept
True or false: the lines of the equations
and
have the same
-intercept.True
False
True
The
-intercept of a line is the point at which it intersects the -axis; its -coordinate at this point is 0.The
-coordinate of the line of the equation
can be found by substituting 0 for
in the equation and solving for :
The
-intercept of this line is at .The line with equation
is a horizontal line with its -intercept at , so the -intercept line of the equation has its -intercept at as well.Both lines indeed have the same
-intercept.Example Question #72 : X And Y Intercept
True or false:
The lines of the equations
and
have the same
-intercept.False
True
True
Both equations are given in the slope-intercept form
, in which the stand-alone constant is the -coordinate of the -intercept. In both equations, this value is 117, so is the -intercept of both equations.Example Question #1582 : Intermediate Geometry
Find the y-intercept of a line that has a slope of
and passes through the point .
Recall the point-slope form of the equation of a line that has a slope of
and passes through the point :
Plug in the given point and the given slope.
Rearrange the equation into slope-intercept form.
The y-intercept for this line is
