Find the y-intercept of a line that passes through the point (-5,-6) and has a slope of 2.

The y intercept is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

-Given point: (-5,-6)

-Slope of 2

1) Put the equation into point-slope form y - y1 = m(x - x1)

With the given, we can plug it all in using this formula!

-y1 = -6

-x1 = -5

m = 2

(you would change these negative numbers into positives because the equation shows them being subtracted! remember that two negatives make one positive!)

y+6= 2(x+5)

2) Simplify

y+6= 2(x+5)

y+6=2x+10

y=2x+4

With y=2x+4, set x to 0 because the y intercept is where x is equal to 0 and you get 4!

2^y = ln 5, or   y(ln 2) = ln 5.   solving for y,   y = (ln 5) / (ln 2).   y=5
