distance : 15 units
coordinates : (7,0) and (-8, 45)
slope:
[tex]\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \rightarrow \dfrac{45-0}{-8-7}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \rightarrow -3[/tex]
equation:
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y - 0 = -3(x-7)[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y = -3x+21[/tex]
the y-intercept of this function:
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y = -3(0)+21[/tex]
[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf y =21[/tex]
distance between both y-intercept :
