Question
where does the line of best fit cross the y - axis?
a. x - intercept
b. origin
c. midpoint
d. y - intercept
The y - intercept is defined as the point where a line crosses the y - axis. The x - intercept is where a line crosses the x - axis. The origin is the point (0,0) which is just a specific case of the y - intercept (when the y - intercept is 0). The midpoint is a concept related to the middle of a line segment between two points and has no relation to where a line crosses the y - axis. So, the line of best fit crosses the y - axis at the y - intercept.
