Find the y-intercept y=3

Problem

y=3

Solution

1. Identify the form of the equation. The equation y=3 represents a horizontal line where the ycoordinate is always 3 regardless of the value of x

2. Recall the definition of a yintercept. The yintercept is the point where the graph crosses the yaxis, which occurs when x=0

3. Substitute x=0 into the equation. Since the equation y=3 does not contain an x variable, the value of y remains 3

4. Determine the coordinates. The yintercept occurs at the point (0,3) or simply at the value y=3

Final Answer

y=3
