The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

We have the slope m = 9, therefore: y = 9x + b.

Next. We have the table:

x | -5 | -2 | 1 | 3 | 4 |

y |-46|-19| 8 |26|35|

(1, 8) → x = 1, y = 8

substitute the values of x and y to the equation:

8 = 9(1) + b

8 = 9 + b |-9

b = -1

Answer: y = 9x - 1 → y-intercept is -1.
