The y-intercept (or y-intercepts) of an equation is where x = 0. Replace x with zero in the equation, and solve for y.

The answer depends on what information you are given - and in what form. If the equation of the curve is given in polar coordinates or in parametric form, the process is quite different to that required when given the Cartesian equation.
