you make x=0 and solve for y. for the x intercept you do y=0 and solve for x

The y-intercept is -5. 2x - 3y = 15 -3y = -2x + 15 y = 2/3x - 5 the y-intercept is the number in slope intercept form that does not have a variable, the minus sign makes the intercept negative.
The y- intercept of a line is where the line crosses the y axis. The x- intercept is where the line crosses the x axis.
If y = 7, then the y-intercept is 7.
where as y-intercept on y-axis is distance between origin to the poin on y-axis How do you interpret the y-intercept as in statistics
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.
