This table gives a few (x, y) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane.
what is the y-intercept of the line?

The Y-intercept is the Y value when X = 0.

Find the change in X:

-56 to -42 = 14

-42  to -28 = 14

The X value changes by 14.

For every change in X the Y change:

66-58 = 8

58-50 = 8

For X to get from -28 to 0 would be 2 more changes:

-28 +14 = -14

-14 + 14 = 0

2 more changes of Y would be:

50-8 = 42

42-8 = 34

So when X = 0, Y = 34

The Y-intercept would be (0,34)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the table shown in the image, we can find "m" with this formula:

We can say that:

Then:

Finally, you need substitute the slope and any point on the line into   and solve for "b":

Since the line intersects the y-xis when , then the point is:

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
