Question

What is the y-intercept of the line shown? -1 0 0.5 1

Answer 1

The y-intercept would be -1

Answer 2

The y-intercept can be found when you look where in the graph that the line crosses the y-axis.

If you were given an equation, you would plug in x = 0, to find the y-intercept.

In the graph, you can see that the line crosses at the point (0,-1).

Therefore, the y-intercept is -1.
