This form. Y = mX + c
- 2X - 7Y = - 2
- 7Y = 2X - 2
Y = (- 2/7)X + 2/7
==============
Y intercept = 2/7
----------------------
The line Y=2 is a horizontal line at positive 2..So the Y intercept is 2.Think of a normal line equation.Y=mX+bB is the y intercept, and since there is no "mx" term, m, which is the slope, equals 0, which means it's a horizontal line.
-1/2
y = 2/3x - 2

y-intercept: 2 x-intercept: 4

y = 2/3x - 2

y-intercept: 2 x-intercept: 4
x-intercept: (2/3, 0) y-intercept: (0, 2)
the slope is - 2 and the y intercept is 4
Slope: -2 Intercept: 5
(1, 0)
you put the y intercept at 2, the x intercept at -2/3 and you join those two points.
