Burns · Answer 1

the y-intercept of the line = 10 or (0, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 8 = - 4 (x - 4.5)

Distributive property

y + 8 = - 4x + 18

Simplifying

y = - 4x + 10

y intercept is b which is equal 10

or

(0, 10)

Jayden Singh · Answer 2

(0, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

One easy approach here would be to set x = 0 and find the corresponding y value. Then y + 8 = - 4 (0 - 4.5), or

y + 8 = 18, leading to y = 10.

The y-intercept is (0, 10).
