The line y = x + 5 intersects the y-axis at what point?

(0, 0)
(5, 0)
(0, 5)
(5, 5)

The correct answer is: (0, 5)

When plotting a line on a graph, the point where it intersects the y-axis is known as the y-intercept. This means that the line passes through that point when the x-coordinate is 0. In this case, the line y = x + 5 will intersect the y-axis at (0, 5) because when x is 0, the equation becomes y = 0 + 5, giving us a y value of 5. The other options are incorrect because they do not have a y-coordinate of 5 when the x-coordinate is 0. Option A has a y-coordinate of 0, option B has a y-coordinate of 0, and option D has a y-coordinate of 5.
