Question

Write the equation of the linear relationship in slope-intercept form, using decimals as needed.

A. (y = 0.45x + 1.5)
B. (y = 1.45x + 1.5)
C. (y = 0.45x + 46.5)
D. (y = 1.45x + 46.5)

Answer 1

The equation of the linear relationship in slope-intercept form is y = 0.45x + 1.5. The slope is 0.45 and the y-intercept is 1.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the linear relationship in slope-intercept form is y = 0.45x + 1.5 (Option A).

In the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept.

In this case, the slope is 0.45, which means for every unit increase in x, the y-value increases by 0.45 units. The y-intercept is 1.5, which is the value of y when x = 0.
