To find the y-intercept of the equation, we need to determine the value of y when x is equal to 0. The equation given is:
5x + 3y = 2
Now, let’s substitute x = 0 into the equation:
5(0) + 3y = 2
This simplifies to:
3y = 2
Next, we solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
y = 2/3
Therefore, the coordinates of the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) are (0, 2/3).
