To find an equation of a line that passes through (5, 1) and has a slope of 2, we'll need to plug our known variables into the slope-intercept equation.
Slope-intercept equation : y = mx + b ; where m=slope, b=y-intercept
Since we're already given the slope, all we really need to do is find the y-intercept.
We can do this by plugging our known values into the slope-intercept equation.
y = mx + b
Since we're trying to find "b," we need to plug in "y, m, x" into our formula.
(1) = (2)(5) + b
Simplify.
1 = 10 + b
Subtract 10 from both sides.
1 - 10 = b
Simplify.
-9 = b
So, our y-intercept is 9!
Now, we can very simply plug our known values into slope-intercept form.
<span>If the median of the values in the data set is Y, it means that Y is the value in the middle of the data set. If 48 will be deducted from each of all values in the data set including Y, then the median of the resulting value will be Y-48. </span>
