Using the graph, determine the coordinates of the y-intercept of the parabola.
The line crosses across x = -7 and x = -1 and y = 7
Without a graph or equation, it is not possible to determine the coordinates of the y-intercept of the parabola. The information provided only includes the x-values where the line crosses and the y-value at a specific point, but it does not provide enough information about the shape or position of the parabola to determine its y-intercept.

Apologies for the confusion. If the line crosses at x = -7 and x = -1, we can assume that it is a linear equation rather than a parabola. In this case, the line is represented by the equation: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.
Since the line crosses at y = 7, we can substitute the values of x and y into the equation to find the slope:
7 = m(-1) + b
7 = -m + b
Similarly, substituting the other x-intercept:
7 = m(-7) + b
7 = -7m + b
Now we have a system of equations:
7 = -m + b
7 = -7m + b
Solving this system will give us the values of m and b, which will allow us to determine the coordinates of the y-intercept.
Subtracting the second equation from the first equation:
0 = 6m
Simplifying, we find that m = 0.
Substitute m = 0 into one of the original equations:
7 = 0 + b
b = 7
Therefore, the equation of the line is y = 7, and the coordinates of the y-intercept are (0, 7).
