Answer:

Y-intercept of the table = -3 and y-intercept of the graph is = -1.

Intercept of the graph is greater than the intercept of the table.

Explanation:

Part (a).

To find the intercept of the table we have to choose two points.

Let
(x,y)=(0,-3) and
(x_1,y_1)=(3,3)

Using point intercept form we will calculate the slope(m).


y_1-y=m(x-x_1)

So,


m=((y_1-y))/((x-x_1))

Plugging the values.


m=((y_1-y))/((x-x_1))=(3-(-3))/(3-0) =(6)/(3)=2

Using slope-intercept form we can calculate the y-intercept.

Slope intercept form
y=m(x)+b

Y-intercept =
b

Then,
b=y-m(x)

Plugging the values of
(x_1,y_1)=(3,3) in slope intercept form.

We have,


b=y-m(x) =3-2(3)=3-6=-3

Y-intercept of the values given in the table = -3.

Part (b).

Y-intercept of the graph can be calculated by following the above procedure or simply just by looking onto it.

As the graph is passing through y = -1,so y-intercept of the graph = -1.

Y-intercept of the graph is greater than the y-intercept of the table values.
