Find the y-intercept y=5

Problem

y=5

Solution

1. Identify the form of the equation. The equation y=5 represents a horizontal line where the ycoordinate is constant for every value of x

2. Recall the definition of a yintercept. The yintercept is the point where the graph crosses the yaxis, which occurs when x=0

3. Substitute x=0 into the equation. Since the equation y=5 does not contain an x variable, the value of y remains 5 regardless of the value of x

4. Determine the coordinate. When x=0 y=5 so the yintercept is the point (0,5)

Final Answer

y-intercept=5
