Question

For y=-5x , what is the y intercept

Answer 1

The y intercept is zero (0) because the slope is -5 and no other number is listed so there’s an implied +0 so the y intercept is zero

Answer 2

Hello!

The equation above has been written in slope-intercept form, which uses the following formua:

y = mx + b

In the formula above, “m” represents the slope of the line while “b” represents the y-intercept. With this knowledge, we can see that the given equation has a slope of (-5). You’ll notice, however, that the given equation does not have a “b” value. In this case, the fact that “b” is not included in the equation implies that this particular value is equal to zero.

Consequently, we have now come to the conclusion that the y-intercept (b) is equal to zero.

I hope this helps!
