PSAT Math Grid-Ins Question 66: Answer and Explanation

Question: 66

For what value of y does the graph of cross the y-axis?

Correct Answer: 24

Explanation:

24

Difficulty: Medium

Getting to the Answer: The place where the line crosses the y-axis is the y-intercept, or b when the equation is written in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), so rewrite the equation in this form:

The y-intercept is 24.

Because the y-intercept of a graph is always of the form (0, y), you could also substitute 0 for x in the original equation and solve for y.
