Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis). To solve this question, first, find the slope, then, plug one of the given points into the equation to isolate b.

<u>1) Find the slope (m)</u>

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} where the given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (0,-2) and (3,0)

m=\frac{0-(-2)}{3-0}\\m=\frac{0+2}{3}\\m=\frac{2}{3}

Therefore, the slope of of the line is \frac{2}{3}. Plug this into  y=mx+b as m:

y=\frac{2}{3} x+b

<u>2) Find the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=\frac{2}{3} x+b

Plug in one of the given points: (0,-2) or (3,0)

0=\frac{2}{3} (3)+b\\0=2+b\\b=-2

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line AB is -2.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

The y-intercept of points A and B is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is the y-intercept. You can tell by looking at the x and seeing that it is 0. This means the point is the y-intercept.

Hope this helps!
