Q. Find the y-intercept of the line y=38x−20. 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 is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This occurs when the x-value is 0. To find the y-intercept, we substitute x=0 into the equation of the line.
Substitute x=0: Substitute x=0 into the equation y=38x−20.y=38(0)−20y=0−20y=−20
Final y-intercept value: The y-intercept is the y-value when x=0, which we have found to be −20. This is an integer and does not need to be simplified further.
