For a line graph, its equation is:
y = mx + c
where 'm' is the gradient of the line and 'c' is the intercept - which gives the value of y when x = 0.
In linear regression, the line of best fit (y = α + βx where α is the intercept-term) is found so that the distance of each point from this line is a minimum. Sometimes people will go for a simpler regression line which does not have the intercept-term, ie the line passes through the point (0, 0).

What is the point at in which a graph intersects the y-axis.?
It is called the y-intercept and is the constant term in the relevant equation.
What is the slope and y-intercept of y equals 3x - 2?
1
Write the equation in slope intercept form 4x plus 3y equals -12 Then determine the slope and the y-intercept?
4x + 3y = 12 3y = -4x + 12 y = -4/3x + 4 The slope is therefore -4/3 (the coefficient of the x term) The y intercept is 4 (the value of y when x = 0)
What is meant by vertical intercept?
y-intercept
What is the slope x intercept and y intercept of 3X plus y equals 7?
y intercept 7 x intercept 7/3
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.
The constant term in the slope-intercept equation for a line determines the?
y intercept
If the constant term in the slope-intercept equation for a line determines what?
The x intercept.
In the slop intercept equation of a line which quantity is given by the constant term?
It is the intercept.
What mathematical term starts with the letter y and z?
y intercept and z intercept
What is the term that describes where a line intresects the y-axis?
The term for a line intercepting the y-axis is a y-intercept. In the equation y=mx+b, which is slope-INTERCEPT form, b is the y-intercept. Once again, the answer to your question is a y-intercept.
What slope-intercept equation for a line the coefficient of the -term gives the slope?
The "slope-intercept" form of a line is an equation of the form:y = mx + b The "m" term - the coefficient you are asking for - is the slope of the line. The "b" is the y-intercept.
In what term gives the slope the slope-intercept equation for a line the coefficient?
The "slope-intercept" form of a line is an equation of the form:y = mx + b The "m" term - the coefficient you are asking for - is the slope of the line. The "b" is the y-intercept.
What does the coefficient of the x-term gives in the slope-intercept equation for a line?
The "slope-intercept" form of a line is an equation of the form:y = mx + b The "m" term - the coefficient you are asking for - is the slope of the line. The "b" is the y-intercept.
What is an constant term in math?
The y-intercept. Ex: AX-BY=C The 'C' stands for constant and is the y-intercept. Was this helpful?
What is the point at in which a graph intersects the y-axis.?
It is called the y-intercept and is the constant term in the relevant equation.
How is the constant term of a quadratic function related to the y-intercept of its graph?
It is the y-coordinate of the intercept (the x-coordinate being 0).
