Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Shari's equation, 288x - 4y = -192, was stated in the standard form.

Thus, she thinks -192 was the y-intercept because:

She thought that the [constant term] is always the y-intercept. She forgot to [write the equation in slope-intercept form].

Let's find the correct y-intercept (b), by first rewriting the equation, 288x - 4y = -192, to get the equation in slope form, y = mx + b.

Thus:

288x - 4y = -192

-4y = -288x - 192 (subtraction property of equality)

y = -288x/-4 - 192/-4

y = 72x + 48

Thus, the y-intercept = b = 48
