Let us begin by defining the y-intercept of a line

The y-intercept is the point where the graph intersects the y-axis. At this point, x is zero.

The standard form of a linear equation is:


\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + c} \\ Where\text{ c is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}

Hence, the correct option is set x = 0 and solve for y
