Can someone help with this math question

Answer 1

We can find the y-intercept by writing the slope-intercept form of the equation. For that first we need to find the slope of the given line.


`Slope=m= (17-3)/(10-6)= (7)/(2)`

Using the slope m =7/2 and a point (6,3) we can write the equation of the line as:


`y-3= (7)/(2)(x-6) \\ \\ y= (7x)/(2)-21+3 \\ \\ y= (7x)/(2)-18`

The equation above is in the slope intercept form.Coefficient of x is the slope and constant term is the y-intercept.

So, the y-intercept for the line is -18. Therefore, option C is the correct answer
