Answer:


(5)/(8)

Option D is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given that

9x - 8y = 0

finding y-intercept

put x = 0 , we get

9(0) - 8y + 5 = 0

Calculate the product

-8y + 5 = 0

Move the constant to L.H.S and change its sign

-8y = 0 - 5

Calculate the difference

-8y = -5

divide both sides of the equation by -8

-8y/-8 = -5/-8

Calculate

y = 5/8

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
