Question

What is the y intercept of -10x -1/2 y = 5 ?

Answer 1

The y intercept is -10.

Answer 2

y-intercept is when x = 0 or the b-value when in the form y = mx + b

-10x -
`(1)/(2)y` = 5

-10(0) -
`(1)/(2)y` = 5

`(-1)/(2)y` = 5

`-2((-1)/(2)y)` = -2(5)

y = -10

Answer: (0, -10)

-10x -
`(1)/(2)y` = 5

+10x +10x

`(-1)/(2)y` = 10x + 5

`-2((-1)/(2)y)` = -2(10x + 5)

y = -20x - 10

b = -10
