Answer:
y-intercept is the value of y when x is equal to zero. Because the y intercept is a point on a graph, you'll usually write it in point/ coordinate form.
Step-by-step explanation:
The y-intercept is where the parabola of a function crosses (or intercepts) the y axis.
Check the picture below.
notice the sides, now, on the second triangle, side 6 slants a bit more to fit in 13, on the third triangle, side 6 slants even further to fit 13 in, now, if 6 were to slant completely, it'll make a flat-line with side 5, and there will be a triangle no more.
but even if side 6 would stretch to a flat-line, 5+6 is just 11, whilst side 13 is longer than that, so no dice.
I believe the fastest way to solve this problem is to take any two of the given points and to find the slope and y-intercept of the line connecting those two points.
Let's choose the 2 given points (-3,16) and (-1,12).
Going from the first point to the second, the increase in x is 2 and the increase in y is actually a decrease: -4. Thus, the slope of the line connecting these two points is m = -4/2, or m = -2.
Now use the slope-intercept formula to find the y-intercept, b.
One point on the line is (-3,16), and the slope is m = -2.
Thus, the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b becomes 16 = -2(-3) + b.
Here, b comes out to 10.
So now we have the slope and the y-intercept. Write the equation:
y = mx + b becomes y=-2x+10. Which of the four given answer choices is the correct one?
