Question

What is the y-intercept of the line? Y=(5/3)x-5
A. -5
B. 5

Answer 1

hint: y = mx+b

m = slope
b = y-intercept

Answer 2

So is it 5 or negative 5

Answer 3

for example, in y = 2x + 3 we see that

m = 2
b = 3

so the y-intercept here is 3

Answer 4

make sense?

Answer 5

Yea but i dont know if thats a minus or negative so im not sure if the y intercept is 5 or -5

Answer 6

well it would be b = 5 if we had y = (5/3)x + 5

but it's actually y = (5/3)x - 5

Answer 7

so it might help to write y = (5/3)x - 5 as y = (5/3)x + (-5)

Answer 8

So its -5

Answer 9

yes
