To find the y-intercept of the line given by the equation \( y = -2x - 11 \), we can set \( x = 0 \) and solve for \( y \).
Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation:
\[ y = -2(0) - 11 \] \[ y = -11 \]
Thus, the y-intercept is \(-11\).
–
2x–11.
Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
