Full solution stays hidden until you ask for it.
1. If visible, read where the line crosses the y-axis.
2. Otherwise use y=mx+b with a point and slope.
3. Solve for b as the y-intercept.
Use the worked steps, then substitute the final answer back into the original relationship to confirm it satisfies the prompt.
