◈ What is the y-intercept of the line, [tex]\bold{y=\dfrac{x}{5} -12}\textit{?}[/tex]
[tex]\diamond\large\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and how to solve:-}}}}\diamond[/tex]
◈ Here's a shortcut to find the y-intercept.
Here's the equation:-
[tex]\large\textbf{y=x/5-12}[/tex]
[tex]\square\!\!\!\!\!\!\triangle[/tex] 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
[tex]\Huge\textit{The y-intercept is -12}[/tex].
The y-intercept is usually written as (0, -12).
Good luck.
