Q. Find the y-intercept of the parabola y=x2−5x. Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, improper fraction, or integer._____
Evaluate Equation at x=0: To find the y-intercept of the parabola, we need to evaluate the equation y=x2−5x at the point where x=0, because the y-intercept occurs where the graph of the equation crosses the y-axis.
Substitute x=0: Substitute x=0 into the equation y=x2−5x to find the y-coordinate of the y-intercept.y=(0)2−5(0)y=0−0y=0
Find Y-Intercept: The y-intercept of the parabola y=x2−5x is the point (0,0).
