Math Problem Statement

What is the y-intercept of the line with the equation y = 10x - 7?

Solution

The equation given is y=10x7y = 10x - 7.

To find the y-intercept of a line, we set x=0x = 0 because the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis (where x=0x = 0).

Substituting x=0x = 0 into the equation:

y=10(0)7=7y = 10(0) - 7 = -7

Thus, the y-intercept is 7-7, and the point is (0,7)(0, -7).
