Find the y-intercept y=-1

Problem

y=−1

Solution

1. Identify the form of the equation. The given equation y=−1 represents a horizontal line where the value of y is constant for all values of x

2. Recall the definition of a y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis, which occurs when x=0

3. Substitute x=0 into the equation. Since the equation y=−1 does not depend on x the value of y remains −1

4. Determine the coordinate. The y-intercept occurs at the point (0,−1) or simply the value y=−1

Final Answer

y=−1
