It is a little difficult to see the graph but I am assuming that the x-axis is temperature in Celsius and the y-axis is temperature in Fahrenheit.
Since the y-intercept is always the point at which the x-value is equal to 0, in this case the y-intercept would be the Fahrenheit temperature that is equivalent to 0°C.
You must distribute first. 8 times (3x-2)= 24x-16 2 times (12x-5.5)= 24x-11 What you have left is (24x-16)-(24x-11) 24x-24x=0 -16- -11=-5 The answer is -5
