As a subject matter expert in mathematics, I can help clarify how to find the Y-intercept of a line when you have the slope. The slope of a line gives you the rate of change between the X and Y variables, but to find the Y-intercept, you need a point on the line where the line crosses the Y-axis. The Y-intercept is the value of Y when X is zero.

To find the Y-intercept, you need the equation of the line, which can be in the slope-intercept form: \( Y = mx + b \), where \( m \) is the slope and \( b \) is the Y-intercept.

If you have the slope and a point on the line (not just the slope), you can use that point to find the Y-intercept. For example, if you have a point \( (x_1, y_1) \) and the slope \( m \), you can plug the point into the equation to solve for \( b \) (the Y-intercept):

\( y_1 = m \cdot x_1 + b \)

Now, solve for \( b \) to find the Y-intercept:

\( b = y_1 - m \cdot x_1 \)

If you only have the slope and no point, you cannot determine the exact Y-intercept, because there are infinitely many lines with the same slope that could intersect the Y-axis at different points.
