Example Questions

Example Question #273 : Coordinate Geometry

Find the y-intercept of the line 13x-10y=12 .

Possible Answers:

$\left(0, -\frac{6}{5}\right)$

$\left(0, \frac{4}{5}\right)$

(0, 2)

$\left(0, \frac{5}{6}\right)$

Correct answer:

$\left(0, -\frac{6}{5}\right)$

Explanation:

Recall that at the y-intercept, the line crosses the y-axis. This means that at the y-intercept, the value of the x-coordinate is .

Plug in for into the equation to find the y-intercept.

13x-10y=12

13(0)-10y=12

-10y=12

$y=-\frac{6}{5}$

The y-intercept for this line is $\left(0, -\frac{6}{5}\right)$ .

$\left(0, \frac{1}{2}\right)$

(0, 4)

(0, 8)

(0, 6)

Correct answer:

(0, 8)

Explanation:

Recall that at the y-intercept, the line crosses the y-axis. This means that at the y-intercept, the value of the x-coordinate is .

Plug in for into the equation to find the y-intercept.

$-14x+\frac{1}{4}y=2$

$-14(0)+\frac{1}{4}y=2$

$\frac{1}{4}y=2$

y=8

The y-intercept for this line is (0, 8) .

Example Question #276 : Coordinate Geometry

Given the following table of a linear function, find the y-intercept.

x	f(x)
-2	-59
4	91
6	141
12	291

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Start by taking a pair of points and find the slope of the line.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\text{Slope}=\frac{91-(-59)}{4-(-2)}=\frac{150}{6}=25$

Next, re-write the equation in point-slope form.

y-(-59)=25(x-(-2))

Rewrite this equation so that it is in slope-intercept form.

y+59=25(x+2)

y+59=25x+50

y=25x-9

The y-intercept for this line is .

Example Question #51 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept

Given the following table of a linear function, find the y-intercept.

x	f(x)
-3	-6
-1	4
2	19
4	29

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Start by taking a pair of points and find the slope of the line.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$\text{Slope}=\frac{4-(-6)}{-1-(-3)}=\frac{10}{2}=5$

Next, re-write the equation in point-slope form.

y-(-6)=5(x-(-3))

Rewrite this equation so that it is in slope-intercept form.

y+6=5(x+3)

y+6=5x+15

y=5x+9

The y-intercept for this line is .
