Answer with step-by-step explanation:

  • The y-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
  • It's represented as the coordinate (0, b) in the line y = mx + b equation, where 'b' is the y-intercept.
  • If you have the equation of a line in the form y = mx + b, 'b' is the y-intercept value.

let's consider an example of a line in the form of an equation:

y = 2x + 3

In this equation, the number added to 2x is 3, which means that '3' is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the point (0, 3) where the line crosses the y-axis.
