The slope of a line is 5/4. What is the y-intercept?

The correct answer is: 0

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. In the equation of a line, y = mx + b, the y-intercept is represented by the term "b". Since the slope of the line is given as 5/4, we can rewrite the equation as y = (5/4)x + b. Since we are looking for the value of b, or the y-intercept, we can set x = 0 and solve for y. This gives us y = b. Plugging in x = 0 in the equation, we get y = (5/4)(0) + b = b. This means that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0, b). Since the slope is given as 5/4, b must be equal to 0 in order for the line to have a slope of 5/
