What is the y-intercept of the equation 4x + 3y = 10?

  1. -2.5

  2. -2

  3. 2

  4. 2.5

The correct answer is: 2.5

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In the equation 4x + 3y = 10, when x=0, the y-value will be 10/3, indicating that the y-intercept is 10/3 or 3.33. Therefore, none of the other options are correct. Option A is incorrect because it is a negative value, while the intercept must be a positive value. Option B is incorrect because it is not the correct value for the y-intercept. Option C is incorrect because it is the slope of the line, not the y-intercept.
