Question

Can anyone please explain to me how to find the y-intercept? O.o

Answer 1

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis.

For EVERY point on the y-axis, the x-coordinate of the point is x=0,

So plug in x=0 in your equation, and solve for y. Tah-dah! That's your y-intercept (or, more technically, that's the y-coordinate of your y-intercept... and the x-coordinate, as I said, is x=0).

Answer 2

put x value as 0 in the equation

Answer 3

It's just the value of y when x is zero.

Answer 4

solve the rest and you get the y intercept

Answer 5

Thankyou! :D I'll do that. :)

Answer 6

The point line have an accident with y s !:)

Answer 7

@E.ali I have no idea what you just said.... lol... :)

Your diagram applies only to a linear equation, we don't know that she is working with a line. Other graphs have y-intercepts too. :)

Answer 8

Is it the same with the x-intercept?

Answer 9

Sort of, except now you have y-coordinate of 0, since you cross the x-axis.

So set y=0, and solve for x. That's your x-intercept! :)

Answer 10

Wha t?

Answer 11

Thanks.. :)

Answer 12

welcome ...
