Question

What is the y-intercept of this table?

Answer 1

y-intercept is (0, -8.5)

Explanation:

y-intercept is when a graph intersects y-axis. The only value of x that the graph intersects y-axis is x = 0 since x = 0 represents the y-axis itself.

So if you want to find y-intercept, you substitute x = 0 and solve for y -- or by looking at the table of values, you find which x = 0 and that's y-intercept.
