How do you find the y intercept of #y + x = -8#?

1 Answer

Jun 20, 2018

#-8#

Explanation:

To find the #y#-intercept of our equation, we must put it in slope-intercept form, which is given by

#y=mx+b#, where #b# is the #y#-intercept.

We essentially just want #y# on the left side. Let's subtract #x# from both sides to get

#y=-x-8#

We see that our #b# value is #-8#. This is our #y#-intercept.

Hope this helps!
