The y axis is a vertical line on the Cartesian plane and a straight line equation is the point at which it intercepts the y axis.

The two intercept forms in math are used mostly in graphing. They would be both x-intercept (or x-intercepts), and y-intercept (or y-intercepts)
y-intercept y axis
Well, honey, the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, so when x=0, you solve for y. And the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis, so when y=0, you solve for x. Just plug in the values and do the math, sweetie.
Usually it means where the line from the result of an equation crosses the y or x axis.
At what point the line intersects the y-intercept, in an equation y=mx+b, b is the y-intercept.
