Question

Your weight lifting class cost you a $10 fee up front and $5 per class after. Y = 5x + 10. What is the y-intercept for in the equation?

Answer 1

so this is already in y=mx+b form where b is the y intercept

Answer 2

so what is b in the equation you typed?

Answer 3

10

Answer 4

to find the y-intercept simply set x to be 0 in your eqaution and solve for b (since you have the form y=mx+b)
Y = 5x + 10
y=5(0)+10
y=0+10
y=10
