Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to evaluate the given claim

Mathematically, we know that the y-intercept is the value on the y-axis when the x-value is zero

It is not correct to say it is the same as the initial value

It is not correct because we can have values of y before the y-intercept. Thus it is not correct to call the y-intercept the initial value
