Answer:
The y intercept is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
-Given point: (-5,-6)
-Slope of 2
1) Put the equation into point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1)
With the given, we can plug it all in using this formula!
-y1 = -6
-x1 = -5
m = 2
(you would change these negative numbers into positives because the equation shows them being subtracted! remember that two negatives make one positive!)
y+6= 2(x+5)
2) Simplify
y+6= 2(x+5)
y+6=2x+10
y=2x+4
With y=2x+4, set x to 0 because the y intercept is where x is equal to 0 and you get 4!
