The equation y + 3 = 5 (x - 3)

represents a linear function. what is the y-intercept of the equation?

A. (0, 36)

B. (0, 5)

C. (0, - 18)

D. (0, - 72)

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is

y = mx + c (m is the slope and c the y - intercept)

Given

y + 3 = 5 (x - 3) ← distribute right side

y + 3 = 5x - 15 (subtract 3 from both sides)

y = 5x - 18 ← in slope - intercept form

with y - intercept c = - 18 ⇒ (0, - 18) → C
