Question

How do I find the slope and y intercept of this table

Answer 1

we can select any two points and find slope

(x,y)=(-1,1)

(x,y)=(1,2)

now, we can use slope formula

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

`m=(2-1)/(1+1)`

`m=(1)/(2)`

now, we can use formula

`y=mx+b`

Here b is y-intercept

we can plug back m

`y=(1)/(2)x+b`

now, we can take any one point to find b

(x,y)=(-1,1)

`1=(1)/(2)*-1+b`

`b=(3)/(2)`............Answer
