What is the y-intercept of the linear equation 59x + 14y - 112 = 0?

A. 8

B. 14

C. 28

D. 59

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & 59x + 14y - 112 = 0 \cr & \Rightarrow 59x + 14y = 112 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{59x}}{{112}} + \frac{{14y}}{{112}} = 1 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{x}{{\frac{{112}}{{59}}}} + \frac{y}{8} = 1 \cr & \therefore y{\text{ - intercept of the line is }}8 \cr} $$
