What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation x + 5y – 12 = 0?

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).
