Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept (b) of the function is the point at which the line of the graph of the given values of the table above crosses the y-axis, for which x = 0.

To find the y-intercept of the function represented by the tables, recall the equation of a straight line which is given as:

y = mx + b

Where, m is the slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

b = the y-intercept we are to find

y and x could be any values of a point on the graph which is represented in the table of values.

First, let's find the slope (m):

Let's use any 2 given pairs of the values in the table above.

Using,

(1, 4), (2, 0),

y1 = 4,

y2 = 0

x1 = 1

x2 = 2

m = (0 - 4)/(2 - 1)

m = -4/1 = -4

=>Using, y = mx + b, let's find the y-intercept (b), taking any of the coordinate pairs from the table of values given.

Let's use, (1, 4) as our x and y values.

Thus,

4 = -4(1) + b

4 = -4 + b

Add 4 to both sides to solve for b

4 + 4 = -4 + b + 4

8 = b

y-intercept of the function represented by the table of values = 8

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
