Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a correct interpretation of the y-intercept in the linear equation y = mx + b?
  • Step 1: Understand the equation y = mx + b. Here, 'y' is the output, 'm' is the slope, 'x' is the input, and 'b' is the y-intercept.
  • Step 2: Identify what the y-intercept (b) represents. It is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
  • Step 3: Remember that the y-axis is where x equals zero.
  • Step 4: Therefore, the y-intercept is the value of y when x is zero.
