Question
The y-intercept of the equation y=-4x-5 is ______.
- -4
- -4x
- 5
- -5
Hint:
to get intercept substitute x = 0 .and solve for y.
The correct answer is: -5
The slope-intercept form of equation of a line is y =mx +b
Given line is y= -4x-5
Substitute x = 0
y= -4(0) -5
y= -5
if equation is in the standard form, then constant term c will be y's intercept.
slope intercept form is y = mx + c.
