Answer: (0, 75)

Step-by-step explanation: This equation is written in slope-intercept form which is more commonly known as y = mx + b form where the multiplier or the coefficient of the x term represents the slope of the line and the b or the constant term represents the y-intercept of the line.

In this equation, we can see that the y-intercept is 75 but it's important to understand that the y-intercept is a coordinate point so I like to always write it as a coordinate point where the x value is going to be 0 and your b value is going to be your value on the y-axis. So we can write this as (0, 75).
