Question

The intercepts made by the line $2x+3y=6$ on the $Y$-axis is $b$.Find $b$

Answer 1

Equation of line is $2x+3y=6$

The line intersects the $Y$ axis, when $x$ coordinate is zero.

$\therefore 0+3y=6$

$\Rightarrow 3y=6$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{6}{3}=2$

$\therefore y-$ intercept$=2$

But $y-$intercept is $b$

$\therefore b=2$
