The y-intercept is the point on the graph where the line intersects with the y-axis. Since this point must be on the y-axis the x-value must be 0. Every coordinate on the y-axis has an x-value of 0. So, to find the answer find the y-value when x=0. In this case, when x=0, y=2. Therefore, the y-intercept is 2, also written as (0,2).
