Find the y-intercept y=1/5x

$y = \frac{1}{5} x$

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.

$y = m x + b$

Simplify the right side.

Combine $\frac{1}{5}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{x}{5}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{1}{5} x$

Step 2

Using the slope-intercept form, the y-intercept is $0$ .

$b = 0$

Step 3

y-intercept in point form.

$(0, 0)$
