What is the (y)-intercept of the line \(y=\frac{5}{3}x-4\)?
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(-4\)
A line in the form \(y=mx+c\) has y-intercept \(c\). Here, \(c=-4\), so the y-intercept is \(-4\). The value \(\frac{5}{3}\) is the slope, not the y-intercept. Exam tip: put \(x=0\) to find the y-intercept.
