What is a transformation that turns a figure around a point? What is the y-intercept of a line that has the equation y = 1/2 x – 6?

The y-intercept of the line given by the equation ( y = frac{1}{2}x – 6 ) is -6.

To find the y-intercept, you can set ( x = 0 ) in the equation:

[

y = frac{1}{2}(0) – 6 = -6

]

This means that when the line crosses the y-axis (where ( x = 0 )), the value of ( y ) is -6. Keep practicing, and you’ll become even more confident with these concepts! If you have more questions, feel free to ask or check out our extended services for more help!
