Answer:

(0, 19)

Explanation:

Find the equation.

Find the slope:


m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1)

22-16/1-(-1) = 6/2 = 3

Here's our equation so far:

y = 3x + b

Find b by plugging in one pair of (x,y) coordinates.

22 = 3(1) + b

22 = 3 + b

b = 19

Now we now the equation:

y = 3x + 19

So, the y-intercept is 19.
