Answer:

5

Explanation:

When we have an equation in slope-intercept form, it's put in the form


y = mx+b

Where m is the coefficient (the slope) and b is the y-intercept.

Since we are trying to find the y-intercept based on this equation (that's why it says
b= ), we can use the equation to find the y-intercept.

The slope is
(1)/(3) since that's the coefficient next to x.

The constant being added is 5, therefore this is the y-intercept.

Hope this helped!
