So if you have an equation in the form y=mx+b, b= the y intercept so just convert any equation to that form
exg 6x+8y=8 subtract 6x from both sdies 8y=-6x+8 divide both sides by 8 y=-6/8x+1 y intercept=1 they y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis, or when x is equal to zero so it is the same as setting x to zero and solving for y 6x+8y=8 if x=0 0+8y=8 divide both sides by 8 y=1 y intercept is still 1
<span>You can find the y-intercept by looking at the graph and seeing which point crosses the y axis. This point will always have an x coordinate of zero. This is another way to find the y-intercept, if you know the equation, the y-intercept is the solution to the equation when x = 0.</span>
