Question

find the y-intercept of the line, show all your work: -4x - 2y = 16

Answer 1

Answer:

the y intercept is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

-4x-2y = 16

we need to get y alone

add 4x to each side

-4x+4x-2y = 4x+16

-2y = 4x+16

divide each side by -2

-2y/2 = 4x/-2 + 16/-2

y = -2x -8

the slope is -2

the y intercept is -8
