Question

The table lists several points that form a line on a coordinate plane.

Answer 1

Answer:

Slope is 1/4 (0.25) while y-intercept is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in getting the y intercept and slope of the line joining the given points.

We can get the slope by using any two points

Let’s say (4,6) and (12,8)

Mathematically; slope

= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (8-6)/(12-4) = 2/8 = 1/4 = 0.25

To get the y-intercept, we proceed

kindly recall that the equation of a straight line is;

y = mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

Let’s take any of the points (28,12)

Thus:

12 = 0.25(28) + c

12 = 7 + c

c = 12-7

c = 5
