Question

Given that the line y = mx + c has a slope of 2 and passes through (5. – 4):10aFind the value of the y-intercept of the line.

Answer 1

Answer:

The y-intercept is -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Parameters:

Slope, m = 2

Point = (5, -4)

x = 5, y = -4

The equation of a line is

y = mx + c

Substitute the given parameters

-4 = 2(5) + c

-4 = 10 + c

c = -4 - 10

= -14

The y-intercept is -14
