Question

What is the y-intercept of $y=secx$?

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The y-intercept of $y=secx$ is at $1.$

Step 1. Given Information

The given function is $y=secx.$

We have to find the y-intercept.

Step 2. Finding the y- intercept

To find the y-intercept, substitute $0$ for x in a given function.

So,

$$\begin{gathered} y=sec\left(0\right) \\ y=1 [sec0=1] \end{gathered}$$
