y = (1/3)x + 3
To find the y-intercept of this equation, you must know what form the equation is written in:
The equation you have stated is written in the form:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y - intercept. This form is known as slope-intercept form.
Looking back at your equation:
y = (1/3)x + 3
(1/3) = m (stated in the previous equation: y = mx + b)
3 = b (also stated in the previous equation)
This means that (1/3) is the slope and 3 is the y-intercept.
Therefore, this is your answer: 3. This can also be stated in coordinate form as (0, 3).
Hope this helps!

3 -> your equation is the form y = mx + b the y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0 so y = m*0 + b = b or 3 for your equation.

Hey there!
In order to find the y-intercept, use the formula y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Now, compare the formula with the problem.
So m=1/3 and b=3.
The y-intercept is 3.
Hope it helps!

When an equation is in the form
y = mx + b
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. I'm sure you can figure it out from there.

the formula is y = mx+ b
m = your slope
b = your y intercept
soooo....it is 3!
