Hello there,

The equation that is given to us is as follows:

  • 2x + 5y = -6

Now we have to first put this equation in slope intercept form. So first we have to subtract 2x from both sides:

  • 5y = -2x -6

Then we divide both sides by 5:

  • y =
    -(2)/(5) x
    -(6)/(5)

Now that we have put the equation in slope-intercept form we should note that the number in front of the x is the slope and the other number is the y-intercept.

So the y-intercept of the following equation is
-(6)/(5) .

Hope I helped,
