Q. Determine the y-intercept of the following equation.(−x+4)(x+3)=y(0,12)(0,4) and (0,−3)(0,−12)(12,0)(4,0) and (−3,0)(−4,0) and (−3,0)
Identify y-intercept: Identify the y-intercept from the equation.The y-intercept occurs when x=0. To find the y-intercept, we substitute x=0 into the equation and solve for y.(−x+4)(x+3)=y(−0+4)(0+3)=y
Perform substitution and calculate: Perform the substitution and calculate the value of y.(4)(3)=yy=12
Write y-intercept coordinates: Write the coordinates of the y-intercept.The y-intercept is the point where the graph of the equation crosses the y-axis. Since we have found y to be 12 when x is 0, the coordinates of the y-intercept are (0,12).
