Slope-intercept form: find the slope and y-intercept

Full solution

Q. Find the

y

-intercept of the line

y = -12x + \frac{2}{9}

. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.

Definition of y-intercept: The y-intercept of a line in the slope-intercept form $y = mx + b$ is the value of $b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.
Given equation in slope-intercept form: The equation of the line is given in slope-intercept form as $y = -12x + \frac{2}{9}$ . Here, $-12$ is the slope ( $m$ ), and $\frac{2}{9}$ is the y-intercept ( $b$ ).
Finding y-intercept value: Since the y-intercept is the value of $y$ when $x$ is $0$ , we can directly read off the y-intercept from the equation. The y-intercept is $\frac{2}{9}$ .
