How to find y-intercept given y= - 6/5x + 6?

Answer 1

#(0,6)#

What is the y-intercept? It is the point the line meets on the y-axis. So on the y-axis, the value of #x# is 0. Put this in your line equation and you will obtain the y co-ordinate. This gives the point on the y axis that the line "intercepts". That's why its called the y intercept. You can use that statement as an easy way to remember

So if we put #x# = 0 in the provided equation, we find that #y# = 6 Hence the y intercept of this line is 6.

To find the y-intercept of the equation y = (-6/5)x + 6, you can directly read it from the equation. The y-intercept is the point where the line intersects the y-axis, so it's the value of y when x = 0. In this equation, when x = 0, y = 6. Therefore, the y-intercept is 6.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
