Given the equation of the line:
[tex]y=-2x-1[/tex]The given equation as the slope-intercept form: y = m * x + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0
By comparing the given equation with the slope-intercept form
So,
The slope = m = -2
The y-intercept = b = -1
the point of y-intercept = ( 0, -1 )
