When you write an equation in the form
The slope is 
and the y-intercept is 
So, in the new line
the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is 3.
The equation of the line best fit is y=35, x= 20

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
m = the slope and b = the y-intercept.
We know that the line passes through x-coordinate 1 and y-coordinate 1 and has a slope of 2
Let's plug our numbers into the slope-intercept form
1 = 2(1) + b
Simplify the right side
1 = 2 + b
Subtract 2 from both sides
-1 = b
The final answer: y = 2x - 1
Falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s for 45 seconds, the anchor fell
(2.5 m/s) x (45 s) = 112.5 meters .
If it wound up only 40 meters underwater, then it must have fallen
(112.5 m - 40 m) = 72.5 meters
from its storage position on the big cruise ship,
before it ever reached the water.
Since it was falling at the rate of 2.5 m/s, it took
(72.5 m) / (2.5 m/s) = 29 seconds
to get down to the water surface after it started dropping.
Answer: x=2 and y=-1
