Question 215585
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">


The two given points do not have a *[tex \Large y]-intercept.  The line that passes through the two given points <i>does</i> have a *[tex \Large y]-intercept however.  Presuming that is what you really meant to ask, proceed as follows:


Use the two-point form of the equation of a line:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y - y_1 = \left(\frac{y_1 - y_2}{x_1 - x_2}\right)(x - x_1) ]


where *[tex \Large \left(x_1,y_1\right)] and *[tex \Large \left(x_2,y_2\right)] are the ordered pairs describing the given points.


Make the appropriate substitutions of coordinate values:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y - 202 = \left(\frac{202 - 382}{1 - 4}\right)(x - 1) ]


Giving you AN equation for the desired line.  Next simplify and solve for *[tex \Large y] putting your equation into slope-intercept form, namely *[tex \Large y = mx + b].  The *[tex \Large y]-intercept is then the point *[tex \Large \left(0,b\right)].
