Answer: the intercept is 8

The equation is

y = 4x/7 + 8

Explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = y intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y ontthe vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

From the information given,

Slope, m = 4/7

The points given are (0,8)

y = mx + c

8 = 4/7 × 0 +c

c = 8

The equation is

y = 4x/7 + 8
