Answer:

(0,7.5)

Explanation:

You want the coordinates of the y-intercept of the segment between (-6, 0) and (2, 10).

Proportion

The two triangles shown in the figure are similar, so their heights are proportional to their base lengths:

D/10 = (0-(-6))/(2-(-6))

D = 10(6/8) = 7.5

The coordinates of point D are (0,7.5).

__

Additional comment

The length of each base is the difference of the x-coordinates of its end points.
