Question

Find the equation of the given table in slope intercept form. The answer must be in y=mx+b format! Please show work asap!!

Answer 1

y=6.75x+6

Explanation:

y=mx+b

we can find it by doing
`(y^(2)-y^(1) )/(x^(2) -x^(1) )`

I'm going to choose 2,19.5 and 5,39.75

`(39.75-19.5)/(5-2)` we get
`(20.25)/(3)` simplified to 6.75

now we know that the slope is 6.75 we can find the y-intercept by plugging in one pair, I'm going to put the 2,19.5 in

19.5=(6.75)2+b then multiply 6.75 by 2

19.5=13.5+b then subtract 13.5 from both sides to remove the 13.5 on B to separate it

6=b so the y-intercept is 6

Answer 2

Answer: y = 6.75x + 6
