Question

-Find the y-intercept of the line with the equation 2x+y=5.

A. -5
B.
-2
C. 1/2
D. 0
E. 5

Answer 1

E. 5

Explanation:

Let's rewrite the equation in the form of y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

2x + y = 5

y = -2x+5

M, the slope, is -2

5, b, is the y-intercept
