Math Problem Statement
What are the coordinates of the y-intercept of the line y = 6x + 14?
Solution
The equation of the line is given as .
This is in the form of the slope-intercept form of a line, which is:
where:
- is the slope,
- is the y-intercept.
In this case, , meaning the y-intercept of the line is at .
To find the coordinates of the y-intercept, set (since the y-intercept occurs when the line crosses the y-axis, where ):
Thus, the coordinates of the y-intercept are .
