The y-intercept is (0,12), or just 12, hope this helps
If there are 12 items adding up to 60%, we want to know how many items more it will take to equal 100% So set up this equation 12/x = .6 then solve for x. x=12/.6 x = 20 now that we know the total you can subtract 12 from 20 and get 8, that is the number of items left on the list.
Isolate the variable by dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable.
X = -2
Hope this helps!
Have a great day!
