Correct Answer :

Option C

5

Solution :

The correct answer is 5.

To find the y-intercept of the given linear equation, we need to understand what the y-intercept represents geometrically and algebraically.

The y-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. At any point on the y-axis, the x-coordinate is equal to 0 (i.e., x=0).

The given linear equation is:

5x+3y=15

To find the y-intercept, substitute x=0 into the equation:

5(0)+3y=15

Simplify the term with x:

0+3y=15
3y=15

Now, solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:

y=153

y=5

Therefore, the y-intercept of the equation 5x+3y=15 is 5.
