Answer:

The slope of the line is m=-0.8 and y-intercept = 5.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Line of best fit : y = -0.8x+5.6

To find : Write a scenario that could work for the following line of best fit and explain the slope and intercept in this context?

Solution :

Line of best fit : y = -0.8x+5.6

Scenario - Let a person has 5.6 dollars and he spend 0.8 dollars every weekend.

So, The slope is 0.8 but also negative as there is decrements.

The y-intercept is 5.6, the value we obtain from the equation when we set x=0.

So, The slope of the line is m=-0.8 and y-intercept = 5.6.

A system of equations consists of a line s of the equation y = x – 5 and a line t that passes through the points (0, 2) and (8,
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

\text{The slope of the line t:}\ m=-\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\\text{The y-intercept of the line t:}\ b=2\\\\\text{The equation of a line t in the slope-intercept form:}\ y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have two points (8, -4) and (0, 2) → b = 2.

Calculate the slope:

m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{0-8}=\dfrac{6}{-8}=-\dfrac{3}{4}

Therefore the equation of a line t in the slope-intercept form is:

y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+2
