Math Problem Statement

what is the y intercept

Solution

The graph shows a straight line. To find the y-intercept, we look at where the line crosses the y-axis (the vertical axis).

The y-intercept is the point where x=0x = 0. By examining the graph closely:

  • The line crosses the y-axis at y=5y = -5.

Thus, the y-intercept of the line is y=5y = -5.

Here are five related questions you might find helpful:

  1. What is the slope of the line shown in the graph?
  2. How do you find the equation of the line using the slope and y-intercept?
  3. What is the x-intercept of the line?
  4. How can you determine if a point lies on this line?
  5. How do you graph a line given its equation in slope-intercept form?

Tip: When finding the y-intercept, always check where the line crosses the y-axis. The y-coordinate at this intersection is the y-intercept value.
