The x-coordinate of the y-intercept is always zero (eliminates choices B and D. Here, we can see that extending the given line will make it cross the y-axis below the x-axis, where y-values are negative (eliminates choice C).
We can see that the slope of the line is a rise of 1 for a run of 2 units to the right. The point that is 1 above and 2 right of (-2, -2) is (0, -1), the y-intercept.
