Answer:

4

Explanation:

-7x-5y=-140

Y=4

Because 7 times 5 =35

140 divided by 35=4

5(4)=20

20 times 7=140. So y=4

Given -

-7x - 5y = -140

To Find -

The y-intercept of the equation =?

Step-by-Step Explanation -

The Y-intercept is a point where the graph of the equation cuts the y-axis.

At y-axis x = 0.

So, we know that at y-intercept x = 0

Put x = 0 in -7x - 5y = -140

= -7(0) - 5y = -140

= -5y = -140

= y = 140/4

y = 28

Final Answer -

The y-intercept of the equation = (0, 28)
