Find the y-intercept -5y=15

$- 5 y = 15$

Step 1

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Divide each term in $- 5 y = 15$ by $- 5$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 5 y = 15$ by $- 5$ .

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{15}{- 5}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 5 y}{- 5} = \frac{15}{- 5}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{15}{- 5}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $15$ by $- 5$ .

$y = - 3$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is $- 3$ .

$b = - 3$

Step 3

y-intercept in point form.

$(0, - 3)$
