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?
