A.
the y intercept is where x=0
x represents the number of months
when the number of months is 0, that is the initial number of games won
that looks to be a little below y=2, so maybe y=1.8?
the y intercept is y≈1.8
it represents the number of games won with 0 months of practice
B.
we can use y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept
we know the y intercept
find the slope
slope=rise/run
the I'm going from x=0 to x=10
the rise is about 18.95 (from 1.8 to 20.75)
the run is 10
so slope would be 18.95/10=1.895
the equation would be y=1.895x+1.8
the points were (0,1.8) and (10,20.75)
-0.4x=2.5 divide both sides by -0.4
x=-6.25
(1,10)(-3,2)
slope = (2-10) / (-3-1) = -8/-4 = 2
y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2
(1,10)...x = 1 and y = 10
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
10 = 2(1) + b
10 = 2 + b
10 - 2 = b
8 = b
equation is : y = 2x + 8.....or 2x - y = -8
Assuming you need to find a multiple of both 3 and 11 to be your answer, the answer should be 33 days.
