Answer:

  • slope: 3
  • y-intercept: 10
  • equation: y = 3x +10

Explanation:

The two-point form of the equation of a line can be used.

y = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)(x -x1) +y1

For the two points, we choose to use ones near (0, 0):

(x1, y1) = (-8, -14) and (x2, y2) = (14, 52)

Then our equation is ...

y = (52 -(-14))/(14 -(-8))(x -(-8)) -14

y = 66/22(x +8) -14

y = 3x +24 -14

y = 3x +10 . . . . . the equation

The slope is the coefficient of x: 3.

The y-intercept is the added constant: 10, or coordinates (0, 10).
