1. The problem asks to find the y-intercept of the quadratic graph given by the equation $$y = (x + 4)(x - 1)$$. 2. The y-intercept of a graph is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis. This happens when $$x = 0$$. 3. To find the y-intercept, substitute $$x = 0$$ into the equation: $$y = (0 + 4)(0 - 1)$$ 4. Simplify the expression: $$y = 4 \times (-1) = -4$$ 5. Therefore, the y-intercept is at the point $$(0, -4)$$. Final answer: $$y = -4$$ at the y-intercept.
