Question

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

Answer 1

generic form of a linear equation:
y = mx + b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept

you are given: the slope (-3) and a point (-5,4)

therefore you can plug in m = -3, x = -5, y = 4 into the equation and solve for b
