We need to find the slope and y-intercept using the table values:

To find the slope take two points and use the slope formula:

P2 (1, 0.75) andP2 (0,0)


\text{Slope = }\frac{y_{2_{}}-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=(0-0.75)/(0-1)=(0.75)/(1)=(3)/(4)

So, our slope is 4/3

To find the y-intercept, we set x=0

Now, look at the table when x values 0.

The Point (0,0) is the y-intercept because is when x=0.
