Answer:

A. -5

Explanation:

In a slope-intercept equation, the form goes this way:

y = mx + b ---> y intercept

|

|

> slope / gradient / constant of variation / rate of change

So in the line y = -x - 5 the -5 keeps its symbol and is the y-intercept.

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -5.
