If someone could HELP me then that would be great! What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation? y = –3x – 5

pooja195 (pooja195):

ok when finding intercepts substitue x for 0 so.. y=-3(0)-5 what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-8?

pooja195 (pooja195):

nope just solve simple whats -3 times 0?

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

y = mx + b where 'b' is the y-intercept.

pooja195 (pooja195):

you get the same answer either way :P

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

I mean, doing that gives you the same thing tho. :P

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Yep lol. ^
