Answer 1

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

I'd start by rearranging the terms for y:

11x-8y=-1

-8y=-1-11x

y=$\frac{-1-11x}{-8}$

The x-intercept is found when x equals 0, so substitute 0 for x in this new equation to find the y-intercept:

$y=\frac{-1-11x}{-8} \\y=\frac{-1-11(0)}{-8}\\ y=\frac{-1-0}{-8} \\y=\frac{-1}{-8}\\ y=\frac{1}{8}$

The y-intercept is 1/8
