x = +/- sqrt(y/3)
-- In the equation of the graph, set x=0. -- Solve the equation for 'y'. -- The value you get for 'y' when x=0 is the y-intercept.
The value of x is 2
In a mathematical equation or relationship, the variables x and y can be dependent on each other, independent of each other, or one can be dependent on the other. The direction of dependence between x and y is determined by the specific equation or context in which they are used. For example, in the equation y = 2x, y is dependent on x because its value is determined by the value of x. Conversely, in the equation x = y^2, x is dependent on y as its value is determined by the value of y.
Let's assume (for simplicity) that "y" is a function of "x". That means that for every value of "x", there is a unique value of "y". In this case, if the equation can be solved for "y", it is a function. Some equations are difficult or impossible to solve explicitly for "y"; in this case, "y" may still be a function of "x", if for every value of "x" only a single value of "y" is possible for the equation. However, if this is the case, it may be difficult to verify.
