Question 388686
To find the y-intercept, plug in {{{x=0}}} and solve for y



{{{-2y + 16x = -4}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-2y + 16(0) = -4}}} Plug in {{{x=0}}}.



{{{-2y + 0 = -4}}} Multiply {{{16}}} and 0 to get 0.



{{{-2y=-4}}} Simplify.



{{{y=(-4)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{y}}}.



{{{y=2}}} Reduce.



So the y-intercept is *[Tex \LARGE \left(0,2\right)].
