Question

The y-intercept is the starting position at Earth's surface. The coordinates of the y-

intercept are (o, temperature at Earth's surface).
3. What is the b-value of the y-intercept for your equation? (1 point)​

Answer 1

The b-value of the y-intercept for the equation is b=3

Explanation:

we know that

The equation of the line in slope intercept form is

`y=mx+b`

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

In this problem

The y-intercept is the point (0,3) ----> given problem

so

The x-coordinate of the y-intercept is 0

The y-coordinate of the y-intercept is 3

therefore

The b-value of the y-intercept for the equation is b=3
