To find the y-intercept of the line given by the equation \( y = x - 1 \), we need to determine the value of \( y \) when \( x = 0 \).
Substituting \( x = 0 \) into the equation:
\[ y = 0 - 1 = -1 \]
Therefore, the y-intercept is \( -1 \).
Write your answer as an integer or as a simplified proper or improper fraction, not as an ordered pair.
