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.

How do you find x and y intercepts?
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
What is the y-intercept of the graph of y equals 2.5x?
Y = 2.5X ( + 0 ) So, zero is the Y intercept of this function.
What statement is true about a graph of an inversely proportional relationship there is no x intercept and no y intercept there is only a x intercept there is only a y intercept or there is both x an?
The graph doesn't intersect either axis.
What are the slope and y intercept of the graph of the equation 2x-y equals 1?
1
What is the y-intercept of a linear equation?
The y-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the graph of the line represented by that equation crosses the y-axis.
What is the y-intercept in this graph?
This question cannot be answered because there is no graph to tell where the y-intercept is.
State the y-intercept for the graph y equals -4x?
y = -4x The y-intercept is zero. That is, the graph passes through the origin.
How do you find x and y intercepts?
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
What happens to a line when the y-intercept is changed?
as the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line shifts up. as the y-intercept decreases, the graph of the line shifts down.
What does the y intercept have to do with the graph?
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.
What is the y-intercept of the graph of 4x 2y 12?
The y-intercept of the graph of 4x + 2y =12 is probably 6
What is the y-coordinate of the point at which a graph intersects the y-axis?
It is called the y intercept
Graph the equation and identify the y-intercept y equals 5x-7?
12
What is the x intercept and y intercept?
Where a line crosses the y an x axis on a graph.
How do you find the y-intercept and x-intercept of y equals -1?
The function y = -1 has no x-intercept; its graph is a horizontal line with a y-intercept of -1.
What Is represented by the y-intercept on a position time graph?
Initial position is got by the y-intercept
What is the y-intercept of the graph of y equals 2.5x?
Y = 2.5X ( + 0 ) So, zero is the Y intercept of this function.
