Question

What is the y-intercept of the equation 2x + 4y = -16?

1. -16
2. -8
3. -4
4. -2

Answer 1

3) -4

Explanation:

Hi there!

2x + 4y = -16

The y-intercept occurs when x=0. Replace x with 0 and solve for y:

2(0) + 4y = -16

4y = -16

y = -4

Therefore, the y-intercept is -4.

I hope this helps!
