Answer:
-26
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to answer this question is to look at what's happening to the values of x and y.
x y
24 -8
36 1
48 10
Go down the list of x values: they are increasing by 12 at each step
Go down the list of y values: they are increasing by 9 at each step.
The y-intercept of the line is the value of y when x = 0.
Think about reversing the steps (decrease x by 12 and decrease y by 10):
x y
48 10
36 1
24 -8
12 -17
0 -26 <----- the y intercept is -26.
Note: Your book or teacher may list y intercepts as points. If so, use (0, -26)
