What is the y-intercept of the function, represented by the table of values below?
:(

So the relationship here seems to be going by two. Every time the x-value decreases from -2 to +7, the y-value is decreasing by 2. Since you're looking for when x=0, the only number that could possibly do that is when y=10. Before x=1, the y-value can increase by two so it would go from 8 to 10 since we know the relationship for the y-values is 2. Therefore your answer should be D.) 10
Hope this helps!
Answer:
D. 10
Step-by-step explanation:
gradient from (-2,14) to(7,-4)
gradient becomes
-4-14/(7-(-2))
-18/9
gradient =-2
y=-2x+c
when x=-2,y=14
14=-2(-2)+c
c=14-4
c=10
x y
-2 14
1 8
2 6
4 2
7 -4
We plot the data on a graph. The gradient was calculated as change in y over change in X
look at the excel document for the graph
Equation of a line graph was used y=mx+c
y=vertical axis
x=horizontal axis
C=y intercept
