Q. Find the yy-intercept of the line 12x18y=2412x - 18y = -24. 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 12x18y=2412x - 18y = -24.\newline12(0)18y=2412(0) - 18y = -24\newline18y=24-18y = -24
  2. Solve for y: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 18-18 to solve for y.\newline18y/18=24/18-18y / -18 = -24 / -18\newliney=24/18y = 24 / 18
  3. Divide by 18-18: Simplify the fraction 2418\frac{24}{18} by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 66.\newliney=(24/6)(18/6)y = \frac{(24 / 6)}{(18 / 6)}\newliney=43y = \frac{4}{3}
