this is a line in the form y = mx + b, where b is the y intercept. In your equation above, 3 is the slope, the m value, and -6 is the y-intercept, the b value.
Answer:
y-intercept of the line is, -6
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form:
The equation of line is given by:
[tex]y = mx+b[/tex] ....[1]
where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept.
As per the statement:
Given the equation:
[tex]y = 3x-6[/tex]
we can write this as:
[tex]y =3x+(-6)[/tex]
On comparing with [1] we have;
m = 3 and b = -6
Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is, -6
