Answer:

y - intercept = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line :

                    [tex](y - y_1) = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

[tex](x_1, y_1) = (5, 4)[/tex] , [tex]slope, m = \frac{1}{5}[/tex]

Substituting the values in the equation:

[tex](y - 4) = \frac{1}{5}(x - 5)\\\\y = \frac{1}{5} x - 1 + 4\\\\y = \frac{1}{5}x +3[/tex]
