I don't know what the "lowest y-intercept means" so if you can reiterate and clarify I'd appreciate it, but if you understand what you're looking for then I assume that a graph would be helpful. An online useful graphing site I like is desmos. Hope I helped.

Answer:
b) -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Well your at 2 and going to -2 so on a number line you be going back or left.
Going two left gets you to zero and going two more get you -2. So in total you went back four and that be represented as -4.
The answer is 10.5, but don't put 10.5 if it's just asking for the number and not the unit only put (10)!!!
