Answer:
The y-intercept of the line is 34.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are few points on the z-y plane through which a straight line passes.
The points are (-56,66), (-42,58) and (-28,50).
Now, take the first two points to get the equation of the straight line.
The equation is [tex]\frac{y - 58}{58 - 66} = \frac{z - (-42)}{-42 - (- 56)}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]\frac{y - 58}{- 8} = \frac{z + 42}{14}[/tex]
⇒ 14(y - 58) = - 8(z + 42)
⇒ [tex]y - 58 = - \frac{8}{14}z - 24[/tex]
⇒ [tex]y = - \frac{8}{14}z + 34[/tex]
This equation is in slope-intercept form.
Hence, the y-intercept of the line is 34. (Answer)
