Find Y intercept

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, 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, the y-intercept is the value of b.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

In the equation y = -2x + 5, what is the y-intercept?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the y-intercept in a graph?

Back

The y-intercept helps to understand the starting value of y when x is zero.

Front

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0, 3), what is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

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

Back

Locate the point where the line intersects the y-axis; that point's y-coordinate is the y-intercept.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 2?

Back

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

Front

If the y-intercept is negative, what does that indicate?

Back

It indicates that the line crosses the y-axis below the origin.
