 Find the the slope (rate of change) and the y intercept (initial value) for this! You can use the formula y = mx + b or m = y2-y1/x2-x1

The y-int and slope for the given condition will be 3.00 and 0.50.

The ratio that y increase as x increases is the slope of a line. The slope of a line reflects how steep it is, but how much y increases as x increases. Anywhere on the line, the slope stays unchanged (the same).


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

It is given that, For a 5 oz. a medium cup of frozen yogurt, Philcharges $3.00. The toppings cost $0.50 each.

A linear equation has the form y = mx + b in the slope-intercept format. X and Y are the variables in the equation. The values m and b represent the line's slope (m) and the value of y when x is 0.

The slope of the line value is always constant. As a result, the slope of the lines is $0.50.

If x is the number of toppings, The linear equation represents the following condition is,

y=mx+c

y=0.5x+3.0

Thus, the y-int and slope for the given condition will be 3.00 and 0.50.
