Q. \begin{tabular}{cc}\newlinex x & y y \\\newline\hline28-28 & 54-54 \\\newline21-21 & 40-40 \\\newline14-14 & 26-26\newline\end{tabular}\newlineWhat is the y y -intercept of the line?
  1. Identify pattern for slope: Identify the pattern in the xx and yy values to determine the slope (mm) of the line. Calculate the slope using the formula m=y2y1x2x1m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} using the first two points (28,54)(-28, -54) and (21,40)(-21, -40).
  2. Calculate slope using formula: Use the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line, y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept. Substitute one point and the slope into the equation to solve for bb. Using point (28,54)(-28, -54) and m=2m = 2.
  3. Use slope-intercept form: The yy-intercept (bb) of the line is the value of bb calculated in the previous step.
