Q. Find the yy-intercept of the line 12x+16y=612x + 16y = 6. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
  1. Set xx to 00: To find the y-intercept of the line, we need to set xx to 00 and solve for yy.\newlineSubstitute x=0x = 0 into the equation 12x+16y=612x + 16y = 6.\newline12(0)+16y=612(0) + 16y = 6\newline16y=616y = 6
  2. Solve for y: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 1616 to solve for yy. \newline16y16=616\frac{16y}{16} = \frac{6}{16}\newliney=616y = \frac{6}{16}
  3. Divide by 1616: Simplify the fraction 616\frac{6}{16} to its lowest terms.\newlineBoth 66 and 1616 are divisible by 22.\newliney=(6÷216÷2)y = \left(\frac{6 \div 2}{16 \div 2}\right)\newliney=38y = \frac{3}{8}
