How do you find the y-intercept for -4x + 3y = -2 ?

---

At the y-intercept, the value of x is zero.
To find the y-intercept, just substitute zero in for x, and solve for y.

-4x + 3y = -2
-4(0) + 3y = -2 {substituted zero in for x}
3y = -2 {multiplied -4 by 0}
y = -2/3 {divided each side by 3}

The y-intercept is -2/3.
