Question

whats the y intercept of a line that passes through (8, -9) and has a slope of -5/4.

Answer 1

Answer: The y-intercept is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b              m = slope, and b = y-intercept

plugging in the given values, we get

-9 = (-5/4)(8) + b

simplify to get

-9 = -10 + b

b = 1

y-intercept = 1
