Q. Find the y-intercept of the line y=−9x−11. Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
Identify y-intercept: Identify the y-intercept from the equation of the line.The equation of the line is given in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.In the given equation y=−9x−11, the y-intercept is the constant term, which is −11.
Verify identification: Verify that the y-intercept is correctly identified.The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0. Plugging x=0 into the equation y=−9x−11 gives y=−9(0)−11, which simplifies to y=−11.This confirms that the y-intercept is indeed −11.
