Answer: the y-intercept of the line is 32

Step-by-step explanation: Detrermine the slope of the line by finding the differences in y values divided by the differences in x values.

12- 17 = -5 17-22 = -5 so Rise is -5

64 - 48 = 16 48 - 32 = 16 so Run is 16

Use the slope formula to compute y-intercept y = mx + b

Substitute given values in he slope formula to compute b


22 = -(5)/(16) (32) + b divide 32/16 = 2

22 = -5(2) + b 22 = -10 + b

22 + 10 = 32 32 is the y-intercept


17 = - (5)/(16) (48) + b divide 48/16 = 3

17 = -5(3) + b 17 = -15 + b

17 + 15 = 32 again, 32 is the y-intercept
