Y Intercept

Front

What is the definition of the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) where b is the value of y at that point.

Front

How can you find the y-intercept from a linear equation in slope-intercept form?

Back

In the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, y = mx + b, the y-intercept is the value of b.

Front

What does the variable 'b' represent in the equation of a line?

Back

The variable 'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

If a line has a y-intercept of 7, what is the point on the graph?

Back

The point on the graph is (0, 7).

Front

How do you determine the y-intercept from a table of values?

Back

The y-intercept can be determined by finding the value of y when x is 0.

Front

What is the y-intercept of the equation y = 1.4x - 6.8?

Back

The y-intercept is -6.8.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept indicates the starting value of y when x is zero, providing insight into the behavior of the function.

Front

How can you graphically identify the y-intercept on a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-intercept can be identified as the point where the line intersects the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

The y-intercept is 3.

Front

If a graph shows a y-intercept at (0, 1), what does this mean?

Back

It means that when x is 0, the value of y is 1.
