Question

The equation Y-5 5(x-4) is written in point-slope form. What is the y-intercept of the equation?

Answer 1

The y-intercept is 15

Answer 2

Answer:

The y-intercept is -15.

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 5 = 5(x - 4) is our equation in point-slope form.

point slope form is = y - y1 = m( x - x1)

So, we know that the slope is 5 and one point is (4, 5)

We can use this point and the slope to find the y -intercept.

y = mx + b is slope intercept form.

Let's input the values we know to find the y-intercept.

5 = 5(4) + b

5 = 20 + b

-15 = b

The y-intercept is -15.
