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.
