The y-intercept of the line connecting points A and B on the graph as shown below is (0, 1).

What is the y-intercept?

In a graphical approach, the y-intercept of a line on a graph is identified by locating the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Given point A is at (2, -1), that is when x = 2, y = -1, and point B is at (-3, 4), that is when x = -3, y = 4, as graphed on the graph that is attached below, we can now connect both points together.

As can be observed below, the line crosses the y-axis at point (0, 1), therefore, the y-intercept is (0, 1).
