when you draw the line on the plane, where the y-axis and the line met that point is the y-intercept.
Also, when writing a linear function in this form: y=mx+b, m is the slope (rise/run) and b is the y-intercept. if there is no constant, b, then the y-intercept is (0,0) on the origin.

How do you find x intercept and the meaning and y intercept?
solve the x and you find the y
What is y intercept and x intercept of y x plus 8?
To find the y intercept put zero in for x and solve. To find the x intercept put zero in for y and solve. (0,8) and (-8,0)
How do you find the y-intercept and x-intercept of y equals -1?
The function y = -1 has no x-intercept; its graph is a horizontal line with a y-intercept of -1.
What is the x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation y equals -x-1?
To find the x-intercept, plug 0 in for y: 0 = -x-1, so x = -1. To find the y-intercept, plug zero in for x: y=-0-1, so y = -1 The x-intercept is (0,-1) and the y-intercept is (-1,0)
Find the y-intercept of y equals 2x?
Normally, the y-intercept would be after the x term, but because there is no x term the y-intercept is 0.
