Solution
- We are asked to find the y-intercept of the graph of:
[tex]y=2.5x[/tex]- In order to find the y-intercept, we need to know the definition of the y-intercept.
- The y-intercept is the y-value where the graph crosses the y-axis.
- An implication of this definition is that whenever the graph crosses the y-axis, the x-value at that point is zero. This means that we simply need to substitute x = 0 into the equation given to us to find the y-intercept of the graph.
- The y-intercept can thus is gotten as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=2.5x \\ \text{put }x=0 \\ y=2.5(0) \\ \\ \therefore y=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]Final Answer
The y-intercept of the graph is y = 0 (OPTION B)
