Why x becomes zero
The y-axis contains every point whose x-coordinate is zero. That is why substituting reveals the y-intercept directly.
In standard form, the result is y= rac{C}{B} as long as .
When this is useful
- Checking where a line starts on a graph.
- Converting standard form to slope-intercept form.
- Comparing two linear rules quickly without plotting many points.
