In a linear equation of the form \( y = mx + b \), the y-intercept occurs where the line crosses the y-axis. This happens when \( x = 0 \).
For the equation \( y = -3x + 2 \), to find the y-intercept, we set \( x = 0 \):
\[
y = -3(0) + 2 = 2
\]
So, the y-intercept is at the point \( (0, 2) \).
The x-coordinate of the y-intercept is simply \( 0 \).
