Find the y – intercept of y = - 4x – 32

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: y = mx+b m is the slope b is the y-intercept

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Or, alternatively... to get the y-intercept, set x = 0, and solve for y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=-32 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, the y intercept is -32 which is the point (0,-32)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and if i where to search for the x- intercept it would be -4?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

plug in y = 0 and solve for x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it's not x = -4

thank you !
