Question

A line passes through the points -3 -4 and 6 2 what is the Y intercept of this line? -3 -2 2 or 3​

Answer 1

Answer:

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let  A(-3,-4)    B(6,2)

the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(2+4)/(6+3)  = 6/9 = 2/3

an equation is the line is : y = ax+b        a is a slope

y = (2/3)x+b

but this line passes by (6;2)

so : 2 = (2/3)(6)+b

b = -2

the equation is : y = (2/3)x-2

the the Y intercept of this line when : x= 0   so : y = (2/3)(0)-2

y=-2
