Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the y-intercept in the equation of a line?
  • Step 1: Understand what a line equation is. A line can be represented by an equation, usually in the form y = mx + b.
  • Step 2: Identify the components of the equation. In this equation, 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the y-intercept.
  • Step 3: Know what the y-intercept means. The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0.
  • Step 4: Visualize the y-axis. The y-axis is the vertical line on a graph where x is always 0.
  • Step 5: Find the point where the line crosses the y-axis. This point is where the line meets the y-axis, and it happens when x = 0.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the y-intercept is the point on the y-axis where the line intersects.
