What is the y intersept of y=-4/5+17

answer:

step-by-step explanation:

i am assuming ur equation is : y = -4/5x + 17

to find the y int, sub in 0 for x and solve for y

y = -4/5(0) + 17

y = 0 + 17

y = 17

so ur y int is 17 or (0,17) < ==

so you know, in y = mx + b form, the y intercept is in the b position

y =     mx + b

y = -4/5x + 17

so the number in the b is ur y int

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
