Answer:

You plug x into the equation and then you can solve for y.

Explanation:

For example: if the equation was y = 2x + 2

Plug in x=0 and you get y = 2*0+2; y = 2

Therefore, the y intercept is (0,2)

Answer:

The y-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-coordinate is zero. To determine the x-intercept, we set y equal to zero and solve for x. Similarly, to determine the y-intercept, we set x equal to zero and solve for y.
