Answer:

The y-intercept is 10. Also can be thought of as the point (0, 10).

Explanation:

This equation is in Slope-Intercept form. The y is all by itself on the left side of the equal sign. On the right, there is an x term. The number next to the x (the co-efficient of x) is the slope. The constant, the number all by itself is the y-intercept.

In the equation,

y = 3x + 10 the slope is 3 and the y-intercept is 10.

This is where the graph crosses the y-axis, the point (0,10)

For any equation you can find the y-intercept by letting x = 0.

y = 3(0) + 10

y = 0 + 10

y = 10
