What ordered pair represents the

y-intercept of the graph of 5x + y = 8?

A (0, - 8) C (0, 8)

B (0, 5) D (0, - 5)

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

Rearrange 5x + y = 8 into this form by subtracting 5x from both sides

y = - 5x + 8 ← in slope - intercept form

with c = 8 ⇒ (0, 8) → C
