In the xy- plane, the graph of y = -4x-2 crosses the y- axis at the point (0,k). What is the value of k?

Question

A . -4

B. -2

C. -1/2

D. -1/4

Answer 1

The linear equation given is in the form of y = mx +b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0, or where the line crosses the y axis. This means the y intercept in your equation is -2, so the intercept would be (0, -2). This means k represents -2 (B)
