Answer:

(0, -5)

Explanation:

The y-intercept of a graph is where the graph of the function intersects the y-axis. This means that the x-coordinate of the point is zero. To find the y-intercept of a line, when given the equation of the line, substitute (0) in for (x) and solve the equation,

y = x - 5

x = 0

y = 0 - 5

y = -5

This gives the resulting point of (0, -5) for the y-intercept of the line.

-5 is the intercept since y=mx+b, b being the intercept.
