Thx.

Answer 1

the answer is 1
that is because the y intercept is the number the constant.

Answer 2

The answer is 1. When the line is graphed, it will cross the y axis at y=1.
Another way to explain is that the equation is in slope-intercept form, and the 1 is the "c" component of the equation, which is the y intercept.
