Question

In the equation, y =5x + 4, the y intercept is_________?

Answer 1

The form of the linear equation is

`y=mx+b`

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

The given equation is

`y=5x+4`

Compare it with the form above

`\begin{gathered} \therefore m=5 \\ \therefore b=4 \end{gathered}`

The y-intercept is 4
