The y intercept is the point along the y axis at which the line (or curve) intersects. So, if your the line graphed from your equation crosses the y axis at y=1, then 1 is the y intercept. x will always be equal to zero at the y intercept, so if you plug 0 in for x and solve the equation, you get the quantity of the y intercept.

The point at which the line crosses the x-axis?
The point where the line crosses the x axis? Answer: the x -intercept The point where the line crosses the y axis? Answer: the y- intercept
What is intercept in a graph?
Wherever a given function crosses either the x-axis (which would be an x-axis intercept), or where the given function crosses the y-axis (which would be a y-axis intercept). Functions sometimes have more than one intercept of either axis, so be careful to check for those.
How do you define x and y intercept?
The x is the slope of a line and the y intercept is where the line passes through the y-axis on a grid.
Is the line that crosses the y-axis called a y-intercept or a x-intercept?
A line is just a line, but the y-coordinate (the point where the line intersects the y-axis) is termed the y intercept. This point has an x coordinate that is always zero and the y coordinate can be positive, zero, or negative
Why is it true that at x-intercept the value of y is 0 and at y-intercept the value of x is 0?

What is the difference between the x- intercept and the y- intercept?
The y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, and the x-intercept is where the line cross the x-axis
How do you interpret the y-intercept?
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
What is the y-intercept of the line?
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.
Is the y intercept where the line crossed the x axis?
The y-intercept is the point that is on the y-axis or where the line crosses the y-axis. (hence, y-INTERCEPT)
What does slope and y-intercept mean?
slope means the difference in the y-values over the difference in the x-values. y-intercept means the point at which the graph goes through the y-axis.
What are the other names of x intercept and y intercept?
x-axis and y-axis
Why there is minus sign in formula of y intercept?
If y = 2x+3 then the y intercept at is 3 on the y axis but if y = 2x-3 then the y intercept is at -3 on the y axis
What is the y-intercept?
the y-intercept is the part of a graph that goes through the y-axis (0 on the x-axis).
What geometry word start with y?
y-intercepty-z Plane
How do you find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of a graph?
X axis is across and Y axis is down
What is the difference of x intercept and y intercept?
The y-intercept is the value of the function when 'x' is zero. That is, it's the point at which the graph of the function intercepts (crosses) the y-axis. The x-intercept is the value of 'x' that makes the value of the function zero. That is, it's the point at which 'y' is zero, and the graph of the function intercepts the x-axis.
What is the difference of x-intercept and y-intercept?
The x- and y-intercepts of a function are the points at which the graph of the function crosses respectively the x- and y-axis (ie. y=0 and x=0).
