In this tutorial, you will learn how to find y-intercept in Google Sheets.
The graph’s intersection with the y-axis is known as the y-intercept. Finding the intercepts for any function with the formula y = f(x) is crucial when graphing the function. An intercept can be one of two different types for a function. The x-intercept and the y-intercept are what they are. A function’s intercept is the location on the axis where the function’s graph crosses it.
Once ready, we’ll get started by utilizing real-world examples to show you how to merge find y-intercept in Google Sheets.
How To Find Y Intercept In Google Sheets
Quick Navigation
Before we begin we will need a group of data to be used to find y-intercept in Google Sheets.
Step 1
First, you need to have a clean and tidy group of data to work with.
Step 2
Select the entire data cell, choose Insert, and select Chart.
Step 3
By default, Google Sheets will use the selected data group to generate a line chart. Simply select scatter chart.
Step 4
Now, you can customize the scatter chart to your preference. We will change the chart title to ‘Enjoyment Metric’ for a better representation of the scatter chart. Also, to emphasize the chart title, we will also change the text color to black, bold it, and align it to the center.
Step 5
After customizing your chart, you will see something like this.
Step 6
To find the y-intercept, you need to select ‘Trendline’ and then select ‘Use Equation’ as your Label.
Step 7
Your chart will look like this after you insert the y-intercept.
Summary
That’s all there is to it. You are welcome to copy the example spreadsheet below to see how it is done. The most crucial lesson is to enjoy yourself while doing it.
