Find the value of the y-intercept of the line whose equation is 5x - 3y = -12.

To find the y-intercept, rewrite the equation of the line in slope-intercept form:

Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b   (b is the y-intercept)

This is how you get your equation in slope-intercept form:

5x -3y = -12

-3y = -5x - 12

-3y/-3 = (-5x -12)/-3

y = (5/3)x + 4

The answer is 4.

omg what happend to your question? if you could edit this question i can

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
