Graph the following equation and identify the y-intercept y=x+5

Y intercept is where the graph crosses the y axis or wheren x=0
set x=0 and solve
y=0+5
y=5
yintercept=5 aka the point (0,5)

one way to graph is to find the x and y intercepts and connect

y intercept is when x=0
x intercept is when y=0

yint, y=0+5, y=5 graph point (0,5) (from origin, go 5 units up)
xint, 0=x+5, subtract 5, -5=x, point (-5,0)  (from origin go 5 units left )

then connect the points
