The straight line PQ with a gradient -2 passing through point (-3, 10). Find the y-intercept of the straight line PQ . Please help me and explain it . Thank you so much

y- intercept = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope( gradient ) and c the y- intercept )

Here m = - 2 , thus

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 3, 10) into the partial equation

10 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 10 - 6 = 4

Thus y- intercept c = 4
