Question

This table goes through the pairs(51,-65) and (68,-78).What is the yintercept of the line?​

Answer 1

I think the y intercept is (0,-26)

Explanation:

Answer 2

• (0, -26)

Explanation:

Find the slope:

• m = (-78 + 65)/(68 - 51) = -13 / 17

Use point-slope form to find the equation of the line:

• y - (-65) = -13/17(x - 51)
• y = -13/17x + 39 - 65
• y = -13/17x - 26

The y-intercept is - 26
