This topic practices identifying the y-intercept in linear equations written in slope-intercept form, particularly focusing on equations with decimal values. Participants learn how to determine the y-intercept by setting the variable x to zero and solving for y. The equations provided contain both positive and negative slopes, as well as positive and negative y-intercepts, enhancing understanding of how these elements influence the line's graph position.
