Question

Identify the y-intercept and slope in the chart. Use this information to write the equation for the line

Answer 1

The y-intercept is -2.

m = 8.5

y = 8.5x - 2

Explanation:

The y-intercept is -2.

m = 83-40.5/10-5

m = 42.5/5

m = 8.5

y = 8.5x + b

-2 = 8.5(0) + b

-2 = 0 + b

b = -2

y = 8.5x - 2
