what is the y intercept to the next 3 problems, (0,3) (2,5) then (-2,4) (3,-1) then (-3,3) (1,2)
The y-intercept occurs when x = 0.
For the first pair you are told that when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is 3.
For the others (assuming a straight line is involved) find the slope from (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and
equate this to (y2 - yintercept)/(x2-0)
So, for the second problem: (-1 - 4)/(3 - -2) = (-1 - yintercept)/(3 - 0)
or: -5/5 = (-1 - yintercept)/3
Simplify and multiply both sides by 3
-3 = -1 - yintercept
Add yintercept +3 to both sides to get: yintercept = 2
I'll leave you to use the same technique on the third problem.
