Graphically, it is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. It gives the value of the y-variable when the x-variable is 0. If, to take a simplistic example, x represented the number of units produced by a firm, and y was the total cost, then the y-intercept would represent the fixed costs - the amount the firm would have to pay even if it produced nothing - eg for land, rent etc.
if you are looking at a graph the y intercept is when the graph crosses the y axis and the x intercept is when the graph crosses the x axis. if you have a formula... plug zero in for x to find the y intercept, and plug zero in for y to find the x intercept
Y = 2.5X ( + 0 ) So, zero is the Y intercept of this function.
The graph doesn't intersect either axis.

The y-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the graph of the line represented by that equation crosses the y-axis.
This question cannot be answered because there is no graph to tell where the y-intercept is.
y = -4x The y-intercept is zero. That is, the graph passes through the origin.

as the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line shifts up. as the y-intercept decreases, the graph of the line shifts down.
The y-intercept on the graph shows where the graph crosses the y-axis. The value is always the value of y at that point, because x is always equal to zero.
The y-intercept of the graph of 4x + 2y =12 is probably 6
It is called the y intercept

Where a line crosses the y an x axis on a graph.
The function y = -1 has no x-intercept; its graph is a horizontal line with a y-intercept of -1.
Initial position is got by the y-intercept
Y = 2.5X ( + 0 ) So, zero is the Y intercept of this function.
