Given the equation y=3/4 x−2 what is the y -intercept? Write your answer as an ordered pair.(1 point

Answer 1

The y-intercept of a linear equation in the form \( y = mx + b \) is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This occurs when \( x = 0 \).

Given the equation:

\[ y = \frac{3}{4}x - 2 \]

To find the y-intercept, we substitute \( x = 0 \):

\[ y = \frac{3}{4}(0) - 2 = -2 \]

Thus, the y-intercept is at the point:

\[ (0, -2) \]

So as an ordered pair, the y-intercept is \((0, -2)\).
