For what value of y does the graph of 4x- 1/2y= -12 cross the y-axis ?

6

Step-by-step explanation: First step is to transfer your equation into slope-intercept form (mx+b+y). You can do this using inverse operations.

4x-1/2y=-12

    +1/2y +1/2y

4x=-12+1/2y

+12 +12      

4x+12=1/2y

1/2 1/2 1/2

2x+6=y

Now that your equation is in slope intercept form just look at theb value for your answer

mx+b+y

2x+6=y

Your b value always represents where your line (on your graph) touches the y axis

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
