Equation of a line

A line can be written in the slope-intercept form as:

y = mx + b

Here, b is called as the y-intercept.

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

We can see in the image the line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,4)

Thus, the y-intercept is y=4

Additionally, we can see the x-intercept where the line crosses the x-axis

The value can be clearly seen as x=8
