It is part of the equation that intercepts the y axis For example the straight line equation: y = 2x+4 is in slope-intercept form and 4 is the y intercept and 2 is the slope.
The term for a line intercepting the y-axis is a y-intercept. In the equation y=mx+b, which is slope-INTERCEPT form, b is the y-intercept. Once again, the answer to your question is a y-intercept.
The slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept y=2x-8.
y=m*x+b is called the slope-intercept form because it describes a line where m is the slope and b is the point on the y-axis that the line intercepts.
Slope intercept is an equation of the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
