Hours into Tara's shift

0 1 2 3

Total number of riders

132 165 198 231

What is the equation in slope-intercept form that represents the total number of riders over time?

Choose the correct expressions from the drop-down menus to create the equation in slope-intercept form.

Answer 1

Hi. You could easily find the slope-intercept form equation if you plot the points and do data fitting. You can use this with a software like MS Excel. The figure is attached in the image. Hence, the equation is y = 33x + 132, where y is the number of riders and x is the number of hours of Tara's shift.

Answer 2

Answer:

y=33x+132
