Question

The graph of the equation (given below) will intersect the y-axis when y equals what value?

Answer 1

When y=5 because five is the y intercept

Answer 2

When y = 5 The given equation will intersect the y- axis

Explanation:

The equation is given to be : y = -2x + 5

We need to find the value of y when the given equation will intersect the y-axis

Now, Any equation when intersects the y-axis its x-coordinate becomes 0 because the x-intercept anywhere on the y-axis is 0

So, we will find the value of y by putting x = 0 in the given equation y = -2x + 5

⇒ y = -2x + 5

⇒ y = -2 × 0 + 5

⇒ y = 0 + 5

⇒ y = 5

Hence, when y = 5 The given equation will intersect the y- axis
