This question tests one's ability to recognize algebraic characteristics of a graph. This particular question examines a linear function.

For the purpose of Common Core Standards, "graph linear and quadratic functions and show intercepts, maxima, and minima" falls within the Cluster C of "Analyze Functions Using Different Representations" concept (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF-IF.C.7).

Knowing the standard and the concept for which it relates to, we can now do the step-by-step process to solve the problem in question.

Step 1: Identify the general algebraic function for the given graph.

Since the graph is that of a straight line, the general algebraic form of the function is,

where

Step 2: Identify where the graph crosses the -axis.

Therefore the general form of the function looks like,

Step 3: Answer the question.

The -intercept is three.
