yesh

Answer 5

y-intercept is when \(\large\color{slate}{ x=0 }\)
and therefore, when ever you have:

\(\large\color{slate}{ y=mx+b }\), then \(\large\color{slate}{ b }\) is the y-intercept.
because when you set \(\large\color{slate}{ x=0 }\), you remain with just the \(\large\color{slate}{ b }\).
