What is the y-intercept of the equation 2x + 3y = 12

.The inverse of the focal point.......
A)-2/3
B)4
C)6
D)12

y-intercept occurs where x = 0, so:

2(0) + 3y = 12
3y = 12
y = 12/3
y = 4 [Choice B]

I hope this helps!

There are two ways to solve this. The first is by plugging zero in for x because the y-intercept is when x = 0

2(0) + 3y = 12 3y = 12 y = 12/3 y = 4

Or Solve to get y alone.

3y = -2x + 12 y = -2/3 + 12/3 y = -2/3 + 4

The equation in now in the "y = mx + b" form the "b" is the y-intercept. In this equation b=4

Both methods are pretty much solved the same way, either way the answer is B

B duh

I think...it might be...uhh...
