Interactive Y-intercept Calculator
Uncover the y-intercept of any linear equation in standard form Ax + By = C and visualize it instantly!
Y-intercept:
The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. For the equation Ax + By = C, it is calculated as y = C / B when x = 0.

Understanding Y-intercept
In mathematics, particularly in algebra and coordinate geometry, the y-intercept of a line is the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis. In simpler terms, it's the value of y when x is zero. For a linear equation in the standard form Ax + By = C, the y-intercept can be found by setting x = 0 and solving for y.
This calculator helps you quickly determine the y-intercept by just inputting the coefficients A, B, and the constant C from your linear equation. The visualization provides a graphical representation, making it easier to understand how the line intersects the y-axis. Use the 'Calculate' button to find the y-intercept and 'Reset' to clear the inputs and start fresh. You can also copy the calculated y-intercept value for your convenience.
