Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -5x - 17
in y = mx + b form, the y int is in the m position
y = mx + b
y = -5x - 17......so the y int (b) = -17 or (0,-17) <=== y intercept
u can also find the y intercept by subbing in 0 for x and solving for y
u can find the x intercept by subbing in 0 for y and solving for x
y = -5x - 17
0 = -5x - 17
5x = -17
x = -17/5......so the x intercept is -17/5 or (0,-17/5) <==== x intercept
