Q. Find the y-intercept of the line y=−815x+9. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
Identify y-intercept: Identify the y-intercept from the equation of the line. The equation of the line is given in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. In the given equation y=−815x+9, the y-intercept is the constant term, which is 9.
Verify identification: Verify that the y-intercept is properly identified.The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Plugging x=0 into the equation y=−815x+9 gives us y=9, confirming that 9 is indeed the y-intercept.
