If "x" is the time when something happens,
the y-intercept tells you what happened
at the very beginning of the time period.
---
Ex: If A(t) = 3t + 10
where A(t) is the amount of money you have at time t,
then A(0) = 10 is the amount you started with.

Slope is the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x).
The y-intercept is the value of the dependent variable (y) when the independent variable (x) is zero.
