Math Problem Statement

To find the y-intercept, we set the y-value = 0 and solve for x. set the x-value = 0 and solve for y.
set the y-value = 0 and solve for y. set the x=value =0 and solve for x. None of these.

Solution

The correct method to find the y-intercept is to set the x-value = 0 and solve for y.

Therefore, the correct option is:

  • Set the x-value = 0 and solve for y.
