First find the slope -8 + 2 / -15 + 24 = -6 / 9 = -2 / 3 is the slope. Now use subsitution with an order pair to find the y - intercept. -2 = -2/3(-24) + b, and you find that the y - intercept is -18 ( y - intercept is b). So to find the x - intercept you know that y has to be 0, and create 0 = -2/3x -18, and find that the x-intercept is -27. In order pair form x - intercept would look like (-27,0) and y-intercept would look like (0,-18). Hope this helps.

The given diagram is a scatter plot in which temperature is plotted against number of visitors.

As the number of visitors is rising with the rise in temperature, its a positive correlation.

As joining the dots is going to give a web of line segments, it is not going to be helpful to understand the trends.

The best way to understand the trends is to make the line of best Fit in such a way that the number of dots on either side are approximately the same.

I have attached the figure for your reference of the line of best fit.
