Find the y-intercept -6y=-48

$- 6 y = - 48$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Divide each term in $- 6 y = - 48$ by $- 6$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 6 y = - 48$ by $- 6$ .

$\frac{- 6 y}{- 6} = \frac{- 48}{- 6}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 6$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 6 y}{- 6} = \frac{- 48}{- 6}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{- 48}{- 6}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 48$ by $- 6$ .

$y = 8$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is $8$ .

$b = 8$

Step 3

y-intercept in point form.

$(0, 8)$
