y + 11 = –2(x + 1.5)
y=mx+b
multiply the bracket by -2
(-2)(x)=-2x
(-2)(1.5)=-3
y+11=-2x-3
move +11 to the other side
sign changes from +11 to -11
y+11-11=-2x-3-11
y=-2x-14
m is also the slope
b= y-intercept
Answer:
y-intercept=-14
The y intercept of the line is (0, -14)
Given the equation y + 11 = -2(x + 1.5)
The y-intercept of the line is the point where x = 0
Substituting x = 0 into the expression:
y + 11 = -2(0 + 1.5)
y + 11 = -2(1.5)
y + 11 = -3.0
y = -3 - 11
y = -14
Hence the y intercept of the line is (0, -14)
