Answer:

The y-intercept is -15.

Explanation:

y - 5 = 5(x - 4) is our equation in point-slope form.

point slope form is = y - y1 = m( x - x1)

So, we know that the slope is 5 and one point is (4, 5)

We can use this point and the slope to find the y -intercept.

y = mx + b is slope intercept form.

Let's input the values we know to find the y-intercept.

5 = 5(4) + b

5 = 20 + b

-15 = b

The y-intercept is -15.
