Answer: -15

Explanation:

To find the y intercept we need to find slope first which can be done by taking 2 points and using the slope formula

5 - 10

---------- = -5/3

12--9

The slope is -5/3 now we take one point substitute the slope in and find the y intercept

5=-12( -5/3) +b

5= 20+ b

-15 =b

The y-intercept is -15
