Find x and y intercepts

Front

What is the y-intercept of an equation?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the graph of an equation crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, y).

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

Back

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y.
