To determine the y-intercept of the line given by the equation x + 5y – 12 = 0, we need to find the value of y
when x
is equal to 0
.
1. **Start with the equation:**
x + 5y - 12 = 0
2. **Substitute x = 0
:**
0 + 5y - 12 = 0
3. **Simplify:**
5y - 12 = 0
5y = 12
4. **Solve for y
:**
y = 12 / 5
5. **Final Result:** The value of y
when x = 0
is 2.4.
Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is at the point (0, 2.4).
