What is the y-intercept of a line that passes through the points (5, -6.5) and (-12, 2)?

y-intercept = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

equation of a line: y=mx+b

two points given are (5, -6.5) and (-12, 2)

first we can easily find value of m or the slope, by using the slope formula. the value of m=-0.5.

formua to find m: = -0.5

to find the value of b (the y-intercept), we need to plug in a y and x value, we are given 2 ordered pairs, you can use either one and plug x-value in for x and the y-value in for y.

if i plug in (5, -6.5), my equation looks like this: -6.5=5(-0.5)+b

then you just solve for b and it turns out to be -4.

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
