What is the y-intercept of the line y + 11 = - 2 (x + 1.5) ? y-intercept =

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
