Answer:

y-intercept (b)

Explanation:

If you are working with a slope-intercept equation, that is

y = mx + b

Then you want to put the y-intercept on the graph first. It is the b in the equation it is often at the end of the equation. It is the number that is NOT right next to the x.

Then you can draw the line.
