Determine the y-intercept of the line y = -2x + 5.

0
-2
-5
5

The correct answer is: 5

The y-intercept of a line is the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. In order to find the y-intercept, we can set x = 0 and plug it into the equation y = -2x + 5. This gives us y = 5, meaning that the line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,5). Option A 0 is incorrect because the line does not pass through the origin (0,0). Option B: -2 is incorrect because it is the slope of the line, not the y-intercept. Option C: -5 is incorrect because it is the coefficient of x, not the y-intercept. Option D: 5 is correct because it represents the y-intercept of the line, as explained above.
