Yes, the value of ( b ) affects the y-intercept in the equation of a linear function, typically expressed as ( y = mx + b ), where ( m ) is the slope and ( b ) is the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which occurs when ( x = 0 ). Thus, the value of ( b ) directly determines this intersection point; changing ( b ) shifts the line up or down the y-axis without altering its slope.
y intercept is value of y when x = 0 x intercept is value of x when y = 0 if y intercept is twice x intercept then its value is twice as high Mathematically, the standard form equation is y = mx + b where m = slope and b = y intercept for x intercept let y = 0 0 = mx + b x = -b/m = 1/2 y intercept = 1/2 time b m = -2 y = -2x + b is the equation
m = slope b = y intercept ( value when x =0)
The line with a slope m cuts the y-axis at the point (0, b). The value b is called the y-intercept of the line.
When the x-intercept is equal to zero, the value of y is the y-intercept. If you don't have zero on the table, use the formula y=mx+b, where m is the slope, and b is the intercept.
