The intercept $b_0$ is calculated by substituting the mean point $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$ and the known slope $b_1$ into the regression equation $\hat{y} = b_0 + b_1x$, and then solving algebraically for $b_0$. In the example, substituting $x=3$, $\hat{y}=4$, and $b_1=0.6$ yields $4 = b_0 + 0.6(3)$, which simplifies to $b_0 = 2.2$.

Conditions: The slope $b_1$ has already been computed.; The sample means $\bar{x}$ and $\bar{y}$ are known.; The regression line is assumed to pass through $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$.

The regression line must pass through the point (3,4) because this point represents the intersection of the sample means of the independent and dependent variables, $(\bar{x}, \bar{y})$. The video states as a general property that all regression lines have to go through the point where the mean of the independent variable and the mean of the dependent variable cross.

Conditions: The data set has a computed mean for x, $\bar{x}=3$.; The data set has a computed mean for y, $\bar{y}=4$.; The context is simple linear regression.
