◈ What is the y-intercept of the line,
$\bold{y=(x)/(5) -12}\textit{?}$

$\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}\diamond$

◈ Here's a shortcut to find the y-intercept.

Here's the equation:-

$\large\textbf{y=x/5-12}$

$\square\!\!\!\!\!\!\triangle$ The y-intercept is a negative or positive constant that's added to or subtracted from the slope.

Constant:- A number with no variables next to it (for example, in the expression d-12, -12 is the constant)

So we conclude that

$\Huge\textit{The y-intercept is -12}$ .

The y-intercept is usually written as (0, -12).
