First , let's put it into y=mx+b   form  'b' will be the y intercept    'm' is the slope

 

y-3=5(x-2)

y= 5x -7        y-intercept is -7

Another method is to just let x = 0 .......this is because the y intercept will be  just (0, b).....so we have

 

y - 3  = 5( 0 - 2)

 

y - 3  = 5(-2)

 

y - 3 = -10     add 3 to both sides

 

y = -7  =   b   = the y intercept

 

 

 

cool cool cool
