Answer:
(0, - 23 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the equation of the line in slope- intercept form
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 72, 25) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 36, 1) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table
m = [tex]\frac{1-25}{-36+72}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-24}{36}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] , thus
y = - [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] + c
To find c substitute any ordered pair into the equation
Using (- 54, 13 ) , then
13 = 36 + c ⇒ c = 13 - 36 = - 23 ← y- intercept
Thus coordinates of y- intercept = (0, - 23 )
