Answer 2

Hey there! :)

Answer:

b = -11.

Explanation:

Create an equation in slope-intercept form to solve for the intercept:

y = mx + b

Plug in the slope and point values:

4 = -3(-5) + b

Simplify:

4 = 15 + b

Solve for b:

-11 = b

b represents the y-intercept, therefore:

y-intercept = -11
