The y-intercept = 127 and the slope = -10

<h3>How to determine the y-intercept and the slope?</h3>

The function is given as:

y = 127 - 10x

A linear function is represented as:

y = c + mx

Where

c = the y-intercept

m = slope

This means that:

y-intercept = 127

slope = -10

The y-intercept implies that, the initial amount of water is 127 ounces and the slope implies that the water leaks by 10 ounces per minute

Which function BEST expresses the linear relationship displayed by the scatter plot?
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line of best fit, which means we want to create a line that the data points will lie closest to.

One thing we can do is find the slope between the bottom-leftmost point and the top-rightmost point. This is because if we were to draw a line connecting these two, it will cut through the data quite well.

Those two points are (9, 15) and (16, 18), so the slope is change in y divided by the change in x:

(18 - 15) ÷ (16 - 9) = 3 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.4

Eliminate A and B.

Now we need to determine the y-intercept. This needs no calculations; simply look at the graph: there's no way a line cutting through the y-intercept point of (0, 18) will perfectly match the data points; instead it must be a y-intercept lower than 18. So, eliminate D.

The answer is C.
