Answer:
y-intercept = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
equation of a line: y=mx+b
two points given are (5, -6.5) and (-12, 2)
first we can easily find value of m or the slope, by using the slope formula. the value of m=-0.5.
formua to find m: = -0.5
to find the value of b (the y-intercept), we need to plug in a y and x value, we are given 2 ordered pairs, you can use either one and plug x-value in for x and the y-value in for y.
if i plug in (5, -6.5), my equation looks like this: -6.5=5(-0.5)+b
then you just solve for b and it turns out to be -4.
The point of intersection you are concerned with is the left-most of those of the graphed lines. Thus you want the two equatons that both have x-intercepts that are negative. Since the x-coefficient is positive in every case, this will mean the right-side constants of these equations both need to be negative. The appropriate choice is ...
