Can someone help? What is the initial value of the equation shown?

y = −2x − 5

−5
−2
2
5

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value is also known as the y-intercept (in other words, the output value when the input of a linear function is zero). In the equation;

y = mx + b

The variable b represents the y-intercept because the x-value is equal to zero. By applying this to our equation, we get:

y = mx + b

y = -2x - 5

And thus, (-5) is our answer. Good luck and keep studying!

trapezoid

step-by-step explanation:

first i plotted all my points on a grid graph

i made sure all of them were in the correct quadrant

then i saw it was a trapezoid or a quadrilateral
