This is the point on the y-axis where the graph crosses.

The easiest way to find this point is to plug in 0 into the x value and solve for y.

Example:

2x+3y=6

Plug in 0 for x (all points on y-axis are of the form 0,y).

0+3y=6

therefore y=2

so, (0,2) is the point on the y axis and so you say that 2 is the y-intercept. You can also say (0,2) is the y-intercept. I never take off points if they say either. They are both the same in my opinion (math instructor).

The y-intercept of a line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis

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?

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.
