Answer:

Slope is -5 and y-intercept is 90.

Explanation:

Use the two values that you circles (4, 70) and (6, 60) .

slope (m) = the change in y-value/ (the change in the x-values).

m = (70 - 60)/(4 - 6) = 10/-2 = -5

The y-intercept is the value of "b" in the equation y = mx + b.

Using y = mx + b, substitute the value m and use point of your points (4, 70).

y = mx + b

70 = -5(4) + b Now solve for "b".

70 = -20 + b

+20 = +20

90 = b
