Question

I would really appreciate some help! Please!

1. Determine the equation for the line of
best fit in slope-intercept form.

2. Include the two points you used to find the slope.

3. Verify your equation is correct by substituting a given point on the line into your equation.

Answer 1

y=

`(2)/(15)`

x+10

Explanation:

we know the y-intercept : (0,10)

picking another point on the line, (2,25)

finding slope is

`(y2 - y1)/( x2 - x1)`

so inserting that together is:

`(2 - 0)/(25 - 10)`

that equals to,

`(2)/(15)`

and since we already have the y-intercept you take the 10 to replace the b in the equation y=x+b

meaning x = slope and b = y-intercept

equation all together

y =

`(2)/(15)`

x + 10
