Question

What is the y intercept for a line with point (5,-3) slope 5?

Answer 1

Use the linear equation `y=mx+b`

Explanation:

The general equation for a linear line is:

`y=mx+b`

Next, substitute the values for x, y and m into the above equation so that you can solve for the y-intercept (b)

`-3 = (5)(5)+b`
`-3 = 25 + b`
`b = -28`

So, the y-intercept is at -28
