To find the y-intercept of the line, we need to determine the point where the line intersects the y-axis.
To do this, we set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y:
5(0) - 3y = 6
-3y = 6
y = -2
Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -2.
The equation of a line is 5x − 3y = 6. Which is the y-intercept of the line?
