What is the y-intercept of the line described by the equation below? y = - 5x + 7

7

Step-by-step explanation:

cause y=mx+b

and b is y-intercept

The y-intercept is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find either the x-intercept or the y-intercept of an equation, all you have to do is substitute 0 for the other variable.

So to find the y-int, just plug 0 in for x, and vice versa

y = - 5x+7

y = - 5 (0) + 7

y = 0+7

y = 7
