Answer 2

Answer:

y = .025x +20

The y intercept is the value when x = o, or the starting value.  In this case, it is the temperature in degrees F at a depth of 0 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a point a (0,20) and a point at (2 , 20.05)

We can find the slope from

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (20.05-20)/(2-0)

   = .05/2

     =.025

One of the points (0,20) is the y intercept  since x=0

We can use the slope intercept form of the equation

y= mx+b

y = .025x +20

The y intercept is the value when x = o, or the starting value.  In this case, it is the temperature in degrees F at a depth of 0 meters.
