Answer 2

Okay so for this problem you want to change it to an slope-intercept equation (y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y intercept). so first you want to subtract 2x from both sides to isolate 5y, which gives you 5y=-2x-20. After that you want to isolate y so you’ll divide both sides by 5. This gives you y=-2/5(x) - 4. because b is the y-intercept and -4=b, then the y-intercept is -4. from here you need to know that coordinates are listed as (x, y) so the y-intercept is where x is equal to 0. So the answer is (0,-4). Does that make sense?
