Answer:
Well. this is kinda trivial.
For a function f(x) = y.
The y-intercept is defined as the point where the graph of f(x) intersects the x-axis.
This always happens at x = 0.
So the y-intercept is equal to f(0).
Now, if we have the graph of f(x), you simply can see at what value of y does the graph intersect the x-axis, and that will be the y-intercept.
Multiply the two desired probabilities to find the answer.
5/12 is the probability for the plain pencil since there are 5 pencils out of 12 total items.
1/2 is the probability for the colored pencil since there are 3 colored pencils out of 6 total items. 3/6 simplifies to 1/2.
5/12*1/2= 5/24
Final answer: 5/24
The answer could possibly be -48+11=-37
