What is the y-intercept for the graph of 7x - 3y = - 5?

Slope = - 4.667/2.000 = - 2.333

x-intercept = 5/7 = 0.7

y-intercept = 5/3 = 1.7

2 ways to find the y int.

(1) put the equation in y = mx + b form and the y int will be in the b position

7x - 3y = - 5

-3y = - 7x - 5

y = 7/3x + 5/3 ... so 5/3 is ur y int

(2) another way is to sub in 0 for x and solve for y

7 (0) - 3y = - 5

-3y = - 5

y = - 5/-3

y = 5/3 ... ur y int
