Step-by-step explanation:
<u>First table</u>
When the x coordinate is 0, that point is your y intercept. For the first one, your y intercept is -4.
<u>Second table</u>
For the second one, we need to do a bit of counting. We can see the x coordinates go before and after zero, but the table does not show us 0. So, we're going to have to calculate the slope. Bear with me here, I'm a little tired and this might be rambling ;-;
So, the formula for calculating slope is . I'm going to use those first two points to get my slope. We're going to say the first point is point 1 and the second point is point 2 (genius, i know lol). So, let's substitute in the x and y values.
And simplify...
So, your slope is -1. We can use that. We just have to count down.
If the x is -2, the y is 8. If the x is -1, the y is 7. And if the x is 0....(drumroll please) the y is 6! So, your y intercept is 6.
<u>Third table</u>
Now, this table isn't very nice either and doesn't have an x as 0 for us. Hmpf. But we can still do what we did above. I'll just skip the explanation and you can observe my steps.
Let's count down....
If x = 3, y = -5
If x = 2, y = -5 1/3
If x = 1, y = -5 2/3
If x = 0, y = -6
