Answer:

Your y-intercept is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should start by finding the equation of this line.

You can do this using point-slope form, which is

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]       so that

[tex]y-6=-5(x-(-2))[/tex]    Simplify

[tex]y-6=-5x-10[/tex]          Put into the form y=mx+b

[tex]y=-5x-4[/tex]

b is your y intercept, so the y intercept is -4.

You can check this by inputting zero for x, since the line will cross the y axis when x is zero.
