Answer:

b = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is written in y-intercept form. y=mx+b. m represents the slope of the line (1/5 in this case) and b represents the y-intercept (-12 in this case). Don't forget to keep the sign in front of b the same.

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is a point where the graph of a function intersects the yaxis. This happens when x=0. So to solve this problem simply insert x=0 into the equation [tex]y = \frac{x}{5} -12 = > y = \frac{0}{5} -12 = 0-12 = -12[/tex]

Now I'm not sure why it's asking for the value of b, as it should ask for the value of y but the answer nonetheless ought to be -12
