Answer 1

Y-intercept: 15

Slope: 1.3

Equation: y = 1.3x + 15

Explanation:

Base on the table:

# of haircuts = x

Cost ($) = y

Knowing that;

y-intercept = The starting point (y)

Thus, based on the table the y-intercept is 15.

Y-intercept: 15.

To find the slope.

We first have to pick two points on the line & determine their coordinates.

Then subtract y-coordinates of these two points and also subtract x-coordinates for these two points.

After that divide the y by the x.

Shown below:

I'm going to use;

(0,15) and (1,20.5)

0 = x₁

15 = x₂

1 = y₁

20.5 = y₂

Now we do;

20.5 - 1 = 19.5

15 - 0 = 15

19.5 / 15 = 1.3

Hence, Slope = 1.3

Slope: 1.3

The equation - y = mx + b

Knowing that;

b = y-intercept

m = Slope

Substitute it in we have;

y = 1.3x + 15

Equation: y = 1.3x + 15
