Question

What is the y-intercept of the equation above?
y - 4x = 5

Answer 1

-5

Answer 2

slope is 4

Answer 3

how did you get -5

Answer 4

y = mx+b...this is called slope intercept form...why? because it shows the slope and y intercept......
m is the slope......b is the y-intercept

turn yours into this form

y - 4x = 5
y = 4x + 5

now

y=mx + b
y=4x + 5

m is the slope......b is the y-intercept...so what is your slope...and what is your y-intercept?

Answer 5

y-4x= 5
-1y -1y

-4x=-1y +5

-4x= -1y+5
-5 -5

-5-4x= -1y

-5-4x=y

-5/-1 -4x/-1 = y

4x-5=y

Answer 6

So if u know the whole y=mx+b thing this is the way you'd go:) Do u get it? @wild

Answer 7

yeah but what is the y-intercept

Answer 8

the y-intercept is -5

Answer 9

Whether you know some form or not, the y-intercept corresponds with x = 0. Substitute x = 0 and discover that the y-intercept is (0,5).

Answer 10

@wild look at my example and follow it...you'll see it

Answer 11

@LizzyLove<3

"-5-4x= -1y
becomes
-5-4x=y"

when you divide by a -1...you change the signs of both -5 and -4

-5/-1? is +5
-4/-1? is +4

Answer 12

thanks i got the answer
