The line's y-intercept is -3 as per the information given in the table.
<h3>What is meant by slope?</h3>
The slope or gradient of a line is a numerical representation of a line's steepness and direction in mathematics. The reason for this usage is unknown, but it first appears in English in O'Brien (1844), who wrote the equation for a straight line as y = mx + b, and in Todhunter (1888), who wrote it as y = mx + c. In this case, m stands for the line's slope.
Slope is the result of calculating the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change between (any) two distinct points on a line.
We know that,
y=m x +c
From the table the points are,
A(-2,5)
B(-1,1)
C(0,-3)
D(1,-7)
Substituting the C point in the above equation we get,
-3=m(0)+c
c=-3
Consequently, the line's y-intercept is -3.
