Question

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line passing through (3.4, 17.8) and (5.7, 64.7). Round the final slope and y-intercept to the nearest tenth in your answer. Show clear work.

Answer:​

Answer 1

y = 20.39x - 51.526

Explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

64.7 - 17.8 / 5.7 - 3.4

46.9/2.3

= 20.39

y = 20.39x + b

17.8 = 20.39(3.4) + b

17.8 = 69.326 + b

-51.526 = b
