The Answer would be y=-3x
The 68-95-99.7 rule tells us 68% of the probability is between -1 standard deviation and +1 standard deviation from the mean. So we expect 75% corresponds to slightly more than 1 standard deviation.
Usually the unit normal tables don't report the area between -σ and σ but instead a cumulative probability, the area between -∞ and σ. 75% corresponds to 37.5% in each half so a cumulative probability of 50%+37.5%=87.5%. We look that up in the normal table and get σ=1.15.
So we expect 75% of normally distributed data to fall within μ-1.15σ and μ+1.15σ
That's 288.6 - 1.15(21.2) to 288.6 + 1.15(21.2)
Answer: 264.22 to 312.98
The y-intercept is where on the graph the line is intersecting the y=axis. Slope is in the form y=mx+b (b=y-intercept, mx=how far up and over.)
