Answer:


-(22)/(8) or
- (11)/(4) in mixed number form,
-2(3)/(4) simplified

Explanation:

Minus 11x from 11x and 22.
You will then get -8y=11x+22.
Divide all the numbers by -8y.
You will get y=-11/8x-22/8
So the y-intercept is -22/8 or -11/4
I hope I got this right

Answer:

- 2.75 or - 2
(3)/(4)

Explanation:

Put in zero for x to solve for y

11x -8y = 22

11(0) -8y = 22

-8y = 22 Divide both sides by -8

y = -2.75

(0, -2.75)
