How do you find the y coordinate in a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it depends on what type a function we're looking at

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have an example so we could show you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

simply let x = 0 and solve for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take the X values of the equation and set them equal to zero. Then solve for Y in the equation. That will be your Y-intercept and Y-coordinate. It also depends on what type of a function of coordinate your doing. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/linear-equations-and-inequalitie/graphing_with_intercepts/v/x-and-y-intercepts Just in easy words simply let x = 0 and solve for the Y

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

y and f(x) have the same meaning... and value in your question

The legendary @campbell_st . Listen to him and you'll get this in no time.!

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the point you have will be x = 0 and your answer or (0, answer)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer for that example would be (0,-4)?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

that's correct..
