The slope-intercept form of a line is:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intecept

So if y=-4x-6 the slope is -4.

Y = -4x -6

the equation is written in slope intercept form ( y = mx +b ) where b is the y intercept
therefore the y intercept is -6

The coordinates of trapezoid ABCD are A(−4, 3), B(2, 3), C(4, −1) and D(−4, −1). A line segment runs through the trapezoid with

madam [21]

The distance from point Y to the y-axis is 4 units and the distance from point Z to the y-axis is 3 units, then the lelgth of the segment YZ is 4+3=7 units.
If a scale factor is 3, then the length of Y'Z' will be 7·3=21 units.

P.S. In the added picture you can see trapezoid ABCD that was dilated by a scale factor 3 about the origin. This may help to understand that all linear values after dilation become multiplied by scale factor.
