Question

Find the y intercept of the following equation of the line.

Answer 1

y- intercept = 2

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

5x + 4y = 8 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

4y = - 5x + 8 ( divide through b y 4 )

y = -
`(5)/(4)` x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with y- intercept c = 2
