Question

What is the y-intercept of y+4=-1/4(x+2)

Answer 1

Get the equation in slope-intercept form.

$y + 4 = -\frac{1}{4}(x + 2)$
$y = -\frac{1}{4}(x + 2) - 4$
$y = -\frac{1}{4}x - \frac{1}{2} - 4$
$y = -\frac{1}{4}x -4.5$

The y-intercept is (0, -4.5).

Answer 2

y + 4 = -1/4(x + 2)
y + 4 = -1/4x - 1/2
y = -1/4x - 4 1/2

y intercept is at (0, -4 1/2 )
