The y intercept will be the ordinate(y value) in the given co-ordinate.
It is impossible to figure it out with just one coordinate and no line. Maybe your line extends through the x and y system and you were given one coordinate. Take that coordinate and find the rise over run (slope). Follow that rise over run all the way to the y-axis. Whatever point you are on once you hit the y-axis that is the y-intercept.
The intercept of a graph is the point where is crosses one of the coordinate axes. The x intercept is where it crosses the x axis, the y intercept where it crosses the y axis. If the graph is given as y equals a function of x, it is usually easier to find the y intercept, because that is where x is 0. You just plug in 0 for x and evaluate. To find the x intercept, you plug in 0 for y and then you have to solve an equation for x. This is fairly easy if it is a linear equation (the graph is a straight line), somewhat harder for a quadratic (a parabola). But anyway you only asked for a definition, and I have given it.
At any point on the y-axis, the x-coordinate is zero. In the equation of the parabola, set x=0. Tidy it up, and you have " Y = the y-intercept ".
The y-intercept is the second number in the coordinate. For example, if you have (7, 4) then 4 is the y-intercept. Hope this helps!
Call the intercept with the y-axis b. The equation for the line is then y=5x+b With the information about the x-intercept we get: 0=5*7+b b=-35

At the x-intercept, y = 0 So, from the equation, 2x + 0 = 12 or x = 6 So the x-intercept is (6,0)

The y-coordinate of the point where the line cuts the y-axis If the line can be represented as y = mx + c, then c is the intercept

Your equation does not have an x variable. So as-is would be a horizontal line (no x-intercept). If this was a typo and you meant to have x in one of the terms then it would have an x and y intercept. The y intercept is where it intersects the y-axis. The x coordinate of the y-axis is x=0, so substitute x=0 into the equation, and solve for y. To find the x-intercept, substitute y=0, and solve for x.
The function y = -1 has no x-intercept; its graph is a horizontal line with a y-intercept of -1.
