Answer:

-3; (8, -20)

Explanation:

to find the rate of change we do (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

basically we choose 2 points on y and subtract them while using the 2 points on x and subtracting them

after subtracting them we divide change of y by change of x

for this one i chose (3, -5) and (6, -14)

-14 - (-5) = -9

6 - 3 = 3

-9 / 3 = -3

the rate of change is three

to find the y intercept we can use this equation

y = -3x + b

and then plug in things

ill plug in the first set of coordinates

-5 = -3(3) + b

-5 = -9 + b

b = 4

so the y intercept is b

using this equation

y = -3x + 4

we can find out what value y is when the x value is 8

-3(8) + 4 = -20
