Question

What is the y-intercept of this line y= x/5-12​

Answer 1

(0, -12)

Explanation:

The y-intercept of a line can be found when taking x = 0.

Therefore,

• y = 0 - 12
• y = -12

The y-intercept of the line is (0, -12)

◈ What is the y-intercept of the line,
`\bold{y=(x)/(5) -12}\textit{?}`

`\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}\diamond`

◈ Here's a shortcut to find the y-intercept.

Here's the equation:-

`\large\textbf{y=x/5-12}`

`\square\!\!\!\!\!\!\triangle` The y-intercept is a negative or positive constant that's added to or subtracted from the slope.

Constant:- A number with no variables next to it (for example, in the expression d-12, -12 is the constant)

So we conclude that

`\Huge\textit{The y-intercept is -12}`.

The y-intercept is usually written as (0, -12).

Good luck.
