Im supposed to get the y intercept in this so, the line goes through the points (-1, -7) and (-8, -2) its graphing for algebra 1

The y intercept is -54/7

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (-2--7)/(-8--1)

   = (-2+7)/(-8+1)

    =5/-7

  = -5/7

We can use the point slope form of the equation to find the equation of the line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--7 = -5/7 (x--1)

y+7 = -5/7 (x+1)

Distribute the -5/7

y+7 = -5/7 x - 5/7

Subtract 7 from each side

y+7-7= -5/7 x -5/7 -7

y = -5/7x -5/7 -7

Get a common denominator of 7

y = -5/7x -5/7 -49/7

y = -5/7x -54/7

This is in the form

y= mx+b, where b is the y intercept

The y intercept is -54/7

srry idk

step-by-step explanation:

fist on the left goes with the third on the right. second on the left goes with the fourth on the right. third on the left goes with the second on the right. the fourth on the left goes with first on the right
