Question

What is the y-intercept of the line given by the equation below ? Y=8x+7

Answer 1

The y-intercept is 7.

The equation is in form y = mx + b.

b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

So in this case the slope is 8.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Hello there!

Since the equation you gave is in slope-intercept form, we can simply find the y-intercept by only looking at the equation.

slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
m : slope
b : y-intercept

Your equation is y = 8x + 7
y = mx + b
y = 8x + 7

So the y-intercept is 7.
Hope this helped!! :)
