Question

What is the y-interecept of the linear equation y = 5x-2?

a. 5
b. 2
c. -2
d. 3x

Answer 1

Answer: c. -2

In slope-intercept form, y=mx+b, the "constant," b, is the y-intercept.

Explanation:

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The form of the equation is in slope intercept, aka y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept. In y=5x-2, 5 is m and -2 is b, therefore -2 is the y-intercept.
