ANSWER

-4.5

Step-by-step explanation

We have the table of x and y values that satisfy a linear function.

A graph can have two intercepts:

=> x intercept: The point where the graph touches the x axis

=> y intercept: The point where the graph touches the y axis.

The y intercept is gotten by checking the graph for where the line touches the y axis.

This can be found by tracing the graph to the point where x = 0 and locating the value of y.

From the table, x = 0 when y = -4.5.

Therefpre, the y intercept is -4.5.
