The y-intercept is the y value of an equation on a graph or cordinate grid For example y=mx+b, b would be the y-intercept. Another example, y=2x-2, -2 would be the y-intercept and you would place a point on -2 and go up 2 right 1 because of the slope 2. I hope this helps you to better understand the y-intercept.
To find the area of the paper. You must multiply the width and the height, which is 9 and 19.
9 x 19 is 171
And multiply that by 4
171 x 4 = 684
Total area is 684
