find y intercept

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis. It is represented as (0, y).

Front

How do you find the y-intercept from an equation?

Back

To find the y-intercept from an equation in the form y = mx + b, set x = 0. The value of y when x = 0 is the y-intercept.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line goes down from left to right.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The y-intercept is 5, represented as (0, 5).

Front

Identify the y-intercept of the graph represented by the point (0, 3).

Back

The y-intercept is 3, represented as (0, 3).

Front

If a line has a y-intercept of (0, -3), what does this mean?

Back

It means the line crosses the y-axis at -3.

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a linear equation?

Back

The y-intercept indicates the starting value of y when x is zero, providing a reference point for the graph.

Front

How can you determine the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

Locate the point where the line crosses the y-axis; this point is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 3x - 2?

Back

The y-intercept is -2, represented as (0, -2).

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

In the equation, 'b' represents the y-intercept.
