Answer: 30

Explanation:

1. You find the slope by picking 2 points and dividing the change in the y-axis by the change in the x-axis. (Time is ALWAYS x)

(50-40)/40-20

(10)/20)

1/2

SLOPE=1/2

2. You find the y-intercept by picking a point, and plugging them into your equation, and solving for b.

(I will be using the point (20,40) )

40=1/2(20)+b

40=10+b

b=30

Y-INTERCEPT=30
