Answer:

y- intercept = 5

Explanation:

to find the y- intercept let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

this relies on the fact that when the line crosses the y- axis the x- coordinate is zero, then

0 - 2y = - 10 , that is

- 2y = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

y = 5

then y- intercept = 5
