Answer:

(-32, 0)

Explanation:

The x-intercept is the point on the line whose y-coordinate is zero.

Look at the points (8, 28) and (-2, 21).

As y goes from 28 to 21, a difference of 7, x goes from 8 to -2, a difference of 10.

Now look at the points (-2, 21) and (12, 14).

As y goes from 21 to 14, a difference of 7, x goes from -2 to -12, a difference of 10.

As you can see, each time y goes down by 7, x goes down by 10.

Start with (-12, 14).

Subtract 7 from y and 10 from x to get (-22, 7).

Now start with (-22, 7). Subtract again 7 from y and 10 from x.

You get (-32, 0).

Since now you have a y-coordinate of 0, point (-32, 0) is the x-intercept.

Answer: (-32, 0)
