Y = x + 4
It is called the y-intercept and is the constant term in the relevant equation.
from a table to a graph just graph x and y (on a coordinate plane) from table to equation find the slope of the line and the y intercept. your equation should be in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
You find the equation of a graph by finding an equation with a graph.

The y-intercept of a linear equation is the point where the graph of the line represented by that equation crosses the y-axis.
The graph of the equation y=8 is a horizontal line through the y-intercept of 8. This is because since y=8, any point on the graph will have a y-coordinate of 8. This is why it is a horizontal line through (0,8).
It is likely that a horizontal line on a graph will have the equation y=c, where c is a variable.
On my graphing calculator, a TI84 Plus, I can enter the equation into the Y= (a button) and then graph it by hitting the Graph button.
Assuming the graph is: x = - 305 y, then the y intercept is at y = 0Assuming the graph is: x - 3 = 5y, then the y intercept is at y = -3/5The main point for you to realize here is that a graph represents an equation,and " -305y " is not an equation. So some kind of assumption has to be madein order to come up with something that can be graphed.
y =x
y=mx+c
If you have anything that you're planning to graph, it's got to be an equation that has 'x' and 'y' in it. If you have an equation that has 'x' and 'y' in it and you're planning to graph the equation, then you've had enough elementary algebra to know how to solve the equation for 'y'. Do that first and bada bing, it'll be in slope/intercept form.
Set 'x' equal to zero, and solve the remaining equation for 'y'.
You can graph a linear equation slope intercept by solving the equation and plugging in the numbers : y=mx+b
Then that part of the graph is below the x-axis.
