What is the y-intercept (b) of the line listed below?

What Is The Yintercept B Of The Line Listed Below class=

Answer :

Hello!

Let's write the equation below in the slope-intercept form y = mx -b:

[tex]y-3=\frac{1}{2}(x-6)[/tex]

Isolating y, we will have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{2}(x-6)+3 \\ \\ y=\frac{1}{2}x\cancel{-3}\cancel{+3} \\ \\ \boxed{y=\frac{1}{2}x+0} \end{gathered}[/tex]

As we have it in the slope-intercept form, it's easier to find the value of b.

As we can see:

m = 1/2

b = 0
