What is the equation of the y-intercept?

  1. y=bx+c

  2. y=mx+b

  3. y=cx+b

  4. y=b

The correct answer is: y=b

The equation of the y-intercept is typically written in the form y=mx+b, with m representing the slope and b representing the y-intercept value. The y-intercept value refers to the point where the line intersects the y-axis, or where the x-coordinate is equal to 0. This means that the y-intercept does not have a coefficient or variable attached to it, which eliminates options A, B, and C as they all contain a coefficient for the y-intercept term. Therefore, the correct answer is D, y=b, as b represents the y-intercept value without any additional terms or variables.
