Question

Use the two highlighted points to find the

equation of a trend line in slope-intercept
form.

Answer 1

Answer: y=(4/3)x+2/3

Explanation:

Slope-intercept form is expressed as y=mx+b

First, find the slope (m):

m= rise/run or vertical/horizontal or y/x (found between the highlighted points)

m = 4/3

Second, find b:

Use one of the highlighted points for (x, y)

2=4/3(1)+b

6/3=4/3+b

2/3=b

b=2/3

Plug it into the equation:

You get y=(4/3)x+2/3 :)
