The y - intercept of given equation is (0, 5)

Solution:

Given that we have to find y - intercept of the given equation

Given equation is:


y = (3)/(4)x + 5

The y-intercept is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-coordinate is zero

Finding y - intercept:

To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for 'x' and solve for 'y'

Substitute x = 0 in given equation


y = (3)/(4) * 0 + 5\\\\y = 0 + 5\\\\y = 5

Thus the y - intercept of given equation is (0, 5)
