Question

What is the y-intercept of the line y+8= -2(x-2.5)

Answer 1

The y intercept is -3 or (0, -3)

Explanation:

y+8= -2(x-2.5)

y + 8 = -2x + 5

y = -2x -3

y= mx + b

b = y-intercept

Answer 2

y-intercept = -3

Explanation:

y + 8= -2(x - 2.5)

y + 8= -2x + 5

subtract 8

y = -2x -3

y-intercept = -3
