Question
The y-intercept of the line y = –4x – 7 is
-7
-4
4
7
Hint:
Y-intercept of a given line is the value of y-coordinate where x = 0
The correct answer is: -7
GIVEN- Equation of the given line- y = -4x - 7 TO FIND- Y-intercept SOLUTION- We know that equation of a line in slope intercept form can be written as y = mx + c, where m = slope and c = y-intercept. Comparing the given equation i.e. y = -4x - 7 with y = mx + c, we get- y-intercept = c = -7 FINAL ANSWER- Option 'a' i.e. '-7' is the correct answer to the given question.
