Question

If line passing through (3,-1) with slope 4; find y-intercept.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 1 Question Paper (25-Sep-2025) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

-13

The equation of a line with slope \(m\) passing through point \((x_1, y_1)\) is \(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\).

Substituting the point (3, -1) and slope 4: \(y - (-1) = 4(x - 3)\), so \(y + 1 = 4x - 12\).

Simplifying, \(y = 4x - 13\).

The y-intercept occurs at \(x = 0\), giving \(y = -13\).

Hence, the answer is -13.
