Answer:

y = -4

Explanation:

We are given two points (-4,2) and (6,-3). In order to find the y intercept, we we need to calculate the slope between the two points first. We can use this using
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), which is how we can calculate the slope of a line.


(-3-2)/(6-(-4))

Evaluate


(-5)/(10) = -(1)/(2)

Now that we found the slope of the line, we now need to plug in all of our information into the point slope formula and get it in slope intercept form.


y-2=-(1)/(2)(x+4)

Distribute the negative half


y-2=-(1)/(2)x-2

Add 2 to both sides


y=-(1)/(2)x-4

The y intercept is -4.
