Question

How do I find the slope and the y-intercept. The only information I have is the plot and table.

Answer 1

Slope-

Every straight line can be represented by an equation: y = mx + b. The coordinates of every point on the line will solve the equation if you substitute them in x and y

The slope m of this line
      m = change in y-value
change in x-value

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Y intercept-

The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis...
