Answer:

The y-intercept is at y = 10.

Explanation:

It will be between y = 14 and y = 7 because the corresponding x values are -2 and 1.

An increase of 3 units of x gives a decrease of 6 units of y fro the above values.

Then an increase of 1 ( 1 to 2) in x gives decrease in y of 2 (8 to 6). The other values show the same pattern.

So very unit increase in x, the y values change by -2.

So from x = -2 to 0 is +2 units for x and this will be -4 units for y so the y-intercept ( when x = 0) will be at y = 14-4 = 10

y-intercept is (0,10).
