Question

Please help me I dont know how to solve this.

The manager of a company wanted information on the relationship between an employee's years of experience and the number of hours it would take the employee to complete a given project. A sample of the data is shown in the scatter plot.

A. Write the equation, in the form
Y= mx+b, of the linear model in the scatter plot. Show your work. Explain

B. Interpret the slope and y intercept of the linear model. Explain which each represents in the situation.​

Answer 1

A. y=2.5x+10

B. 10

Explanation:

A. To find the answer, you first have to find the y intercept. The y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis. In this case, it's 10. The y intercept is b in the equation and since its positive it would be +10. Then find the slope. You can do this by making a slope triangle. Make lattice points and connect them using a triangle shape. The slope triangle measures out to 5/2 or 2.5.

B. The y intercep is 10 because that is where the line touches the y axis.
