Answer:

(0,4)

Explanation:

When you are finding the y-intercept, the x = 0

y = -2x + 4

y = -2(0) + 4

= 0 + 4

y = 4

Meaning y = (0,4)

hello!


\sf{\underline{Given:-}


~~~~~~~\bigstar\overbrace{The~equation~of~the~line}}


\sf{\underline{To~find:-}}


\bigstar{\overbrace{The~y-intercept~of~the~line}}\\\sf{\underline{Solution:-}}

Since the equation is written in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b), then we just look at the b term, which stands for the y-intercept.

Notice that the y-intercept is a constant...

Hence, the y-intercept of the line is


\bigstar{\boxed{\pmb{4}}}

note:-

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)
