Location of y-intercept on a graph — task. Maths CBSE Live product, Class 9 (2026-27).

Consider the line given by \(y = 8x - 1\). What is the \(y\)-intercept, and how would you locate it on the graph?

The \(y\)-intercept is \(-1\), found where the line crosses the \(y\)-axis at \((0,-1)\).
The \(y\)-intercept is \(-1\), found where the line crosses the \(x\)-axis at \((-1,0)\).
The \(y\)-intercept is \(1\), found where the line crosses the \(x\)-axis at \((1,0)\).
The \(y\)-intercept is \(1\), found where the line crosses the \(y\)-axis at \((0,1)\).
