Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

y = 8.

Explanation:

Begin by finding the slope of the equation. Use two points from the table and plug them into the formula:

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

`m = (4-16)/(1-(-2))`

Simplify:

`m = (-12)/(3)`

m = -4. This is the slope.

Create an equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) to solve for the y intercept. Plug in the x and y values from another point.

0 = -4(2) + b

0 = -8 + b

Add 8 to both sides:

8 = b. The 'b' value is the y-intercept.

Therefore, the y-intercept of this table is:

y = 8.
