Question

What is the y-intercept of a line that has a slope of -3 and passes through point (-5, 4)? a) -17 b) -11 c) 7 d) 19​

Answer 1

Answer:

(- 11)

Answer b is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this you can use

y = mx + c

Here,

m = slope

c = y - intercept

( -5, 4) = ( x ,y)

Let us solve now .

$y = mx + c$

$4 = - 3 \times - 5 + c \\ 4 = 15 + c \\ 4 - 15 = c \\ - 11 = c$

Therefore,

c = (-11)

That means y - intercept is ( -11 )

Hope this helps you.
