Question

What is the y-intercept of the line 2x+4y=-8

Answer 1

We have the following:

The equation in slope and y-intercept form is

`y=mx+b`

where b is y-intercept

Now, we solve the equation given in the statement and solve for y

`\begin{gathered} 2x+4y=8 \\ (2)/(4)x+(4)/(4)y=(8)/(4) \\ (1)/(2)x+y=2 \\ y=-(1)/(2)x+2 \end{gathered}`

therefore, the y-intercept is 2
