Slope and Y Intercept Intro

If a linear equation has a y-intercept of 5, what does that mean?

• When x=0, y=5.

• When x=5, y=5.

• When x=0, y=0.

• When x=5, y=0.

Explain how to interpret the y-intercept in a real-world context.

• The y-intercept represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is negative.

• The y-intercept represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is at its maximum.

• The y-intercept represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is zero.

• The y-intercept represents the value of the dependent variable when the independent variable is undefined.
