Answer:
Equation A has the larger y intercept.
Equation A has a y-intercept of 2
Equation B has a y intercept of -5
Explanation:
Equation A is in the slope intercept form of a line.
y = mx + b. The number in the b place is the y-intercept.
y = 5x + 2. The 2 is in the intercept place so the y-intercept is 2.
Equation B is written in the standard form of a line.
5x + 4y = -20
If I let x = 0, I can solve for the y intercept.
5(0) + 4y = -20
4y = -20 Divide both sides by 4
y = -5
This would be point (0,-5). The y-intercept is always boing to be when x = 0.
