Answer: The y-intercept is -8

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple to understand once you memorize the slope intercept formula!

y=mx+b

m stands for the slope which is rise/run

The b is the y-intercept, which is the answer you are looking for! the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis!

The coordinates of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are A(-5, 1), B(-2,5), C(5, 3),

sladkih [1.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate a slope, we need to apply: $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$

Applying formula to each slope:

$m_{AB}=\frac{5-1}{-2-(-5)} = \frac{4}{3} \\m_{BC}=\frac{3-5}{5-(-2)} =\frac{-2}{7}\\m_{CD}=\frac{-1-3}{2-5}=\frac{-4}{-3} =\frac{4}{3}$

So, as you can see, there are equal pair of slopes, meaning that they are parallels, which<em> demonstrate that it's actually a quadrilateral figure.</em>
