Question

What is the y-intercept of the line y + 4 = −4(x + 3.5)?

Answer 1

Answer: y=x +4

Explanation:

Answer 2

-18

Explanation:

Given equation:
`\[y+4=-4(x+3.5)\]`

Simplifying:

`\[y+4=-4x-14\]`

=>
`\[y=-4x-14-4\]`

=>
`\[y=-4x-18\]`

This is of the form y=mx+c where m is the slope of the line and c is the y intercept.

So, in this case, slope of the line is -4 and the y-intercept is -18.

This can also be verified by setting x=0 in the equation of the line.
