It represents the value of the y variable when the x variable is zero.
b represents the intercept on the y-axis
The y-intercept is when your Y variable crosses one of the two y axis's. Most of the time, the Y-axis is the starting point.

b
It represents the value of the y variable when the x variable is zero.
y=mx+b is the general slope intercept equation and b represents the y intercept.
b represents the intercept on the y-axis
The y-intercept is whatever number (with no variable) is added onto the end of the equation y=mx+b. In this case b is the y-intercept. In y=15x the y-intercept is 0 because there is no number without a variable on the end.
The y-intercept represents the point in which the line crosses the y-axis.
The formula for a line is y= ax+b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope-intercept formula for a line is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept. This is due to the fact that when x = 0, y = b. This means the point (0,b) is on the line and is the y-intercept.
you make x=0 and solve for y. for the x intercept you do y=0 and solve for x
In the straight line equation of y = 3x+5 the slope is 3 and the y intercept is 5
The y-intercept is when your Y variable crosses one of the two y axis's. Most of the time, the Y-axis is the starting point.
The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by y = mx + b, where "m" represents the slope of the line and "b" represents the y-intercept.
