Answer :

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the line is 4.

We have a straight line -

4x + 5y = -20

We have to determine y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the line.

What is the general equation of a straight line ?

The general equation of a straight line is as follows -

y = mx + c

where -

m - slope of line

c - intercept of line on y - axis.

According to question, we have -

4x + 5y = - 20

Rearranging the equation, we get -

5y = 4x + 20

y = [tex]\frac{4}{5}x[/tex] + 4

Comparing it with the general equation of straight line, we get -

m = 4/5

c = 4

Now, c is the y-intercept of the line. Hence, its coordinates will be -

(0, 4).

Hence, the y-coordinate of the y-intercept of the line is 4.
