Find the y-intercept...
First: solve for "y" by isolating it on one side > subtract 5 from both sides...
y + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5
y = - 5
The y-intercept is a number/fraction that lies on the y-axis on a graph. In this case, the y-intercept is: - 5 > (0, -5)
There is no x-variable which means, there is no x-intercept.

*set the equation equal to y to make it easier to find the intercepts
*then that means: y=-5
*since y= 5, then that means that there is only 1 intercept for y and no x-intercepts
*the answer is: (0, -5)

This is y = -5. So the graph is simply a horizontal line crossing the y-axis at -5. It has no x-intercept

The y intercept is -5, and the line will never cross the x axis, so there is no x intercept.

this can be rewritten as:
y = -5
that makes the y intercept (0, -5)
there is no x intercept

go to a math website they'll show you how to do it instead of having people do it for you.
