Question

Graph A line goes through the point (–2,3) and has a slope of –4. What is the y-intercept of the line?

Answer 1

`x_(1) =-2`

`x_(2)=3`

Slope intercept form: y = mx + b

mx=-4

b= -5

Intercepts

x intercept=-1.25

y intercept=-5

The correct answer is y intercept =-5

Answer 2

slope m = –4

equation

y - 3 = -4(x + 2)

y - 3 = -4x - 8

y = -4x - 5 where slope = -4 and y intercept = b = -5

Answer

Y intercept (0, -5)
