A: The common notation for the "intercept" term of an equation specified as Y = a + bX. Mathematically, the a-intercept term indicates the value of the Y variable when the value of the X variable is equal to zero.

For example, if Y represents consumption and X represents national income, a measures autonomous consumption expenditures.
