A) (2,0)
B) (0,-3)
C) ( 0, 2 )
D) ( 0, 3 )
E) (-2 , 0 )

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the y-intercept of a linear equation, we set x = 0 and solve for y. Therefore, when x = 0 in the equation $6x - 4y = -12$, we get $-4y = -12$ which simplifies to $y = 3$. Thus, the y-intercept is (0,3), which corresponds to answer choice D.

Consider the Linear Equation 6x−4y=−126 x - 4 y = - 126x−4y=−12
