Math Problem Statement

What are the coordinates of the y-intercept of the line with the equation y = 6x + 13?

Solution

The equation of the line is y=6x+13y = 6x + 13.

To find the yy-intercept, recall that the yy-intercept occurs when x=0x = 0.

Substitute x=0x = 0 into the equation:

y=6(0)+13=13y = 6(0) + 13 = 13

Thus, the coordinates of the yy-intercept are:

(0,13)(0, 13)

Here are 5 follow-up questions for you to consider:

  1. What are the coordinates of the xx-intercept of this line?
  2. How does the slope 66 influence the graph of the line?
  3. Can you rewrite the equation y=6x+13y = 6x + 13 in standard form?
  4. What would the yy-intercept be if the line equation were y=6x7y = 6x - 7?
  5. How do you interpret the yy-intercept in a real-world context?

Tip: The yy-intercept is always where the graph of the line crosses the yy-axis, meaning x=0x = 0.
