I need help I don’t understand

Simone claims the initial value and y-intercept are the same thing on a graph. is she correct? if you know that a line has a slope of and a y-intercept of 7, what is the equation for that line in slope-intercept form?

Simplify. −4x^2 (5x^4−3x^2+x−2) −20x^6−12x^4+8x^3−8x^2 −20x^6+12x^4−4x^3+8x^2 −20x^8+12x^4−4x^2+8x −20x^6+12x^4+4x^3−8x^2

Evaluate the discriminant of each equation. tell how many solutions each equation has and whether the solutions are real or imaginary. x^2 + 4x + 5 = 0
