Q. Determine the y-intercept of the following equation.(x−4)(x−1)=y(4,0)(4,0) and (1,0)(0,4)(−4,0) and (1,0)(0,4) and (0,1)(0,−4)
Concept of y-intercept: Understand the concept of a y-intercept. The y-intercept of an equation is the point where the graph of the equation crosses the y-axis. This occurs when the x-value is 0.
Substitute x=0: Substitute x=0 into the equation to find the y-intercept.We have the equation (x−4)(x−1)=y. To find the y-intercept, we set x to 0 and solve for y.(0−4)(0−1)=y
Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to solve for y.y=(−4)(−1)y=4
Write y-intercept as coordinate: Write down the y-intercept as a coordinate.The y-intercept is the point where x is 0, so the coordinate of the y-intercept is (0,y-value).The y-intercept is (0,4).
