Assuming the equation is:
then, the y-intercept is:
Explanation:
It is not clear what is the original equation in the problem.
I interpret it to be:
However, this is sinusoidal curve, not a line, as described in the problem, so, perhaps I am misinterpreting the question.
Nevertheless, I will describe how to find the y-intercept.
The y-intercept of a function
Then, in this problem, when
So, the curve will cross the y- axis at
