<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The standard linear equation is given by :-

y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given equation to predict the average height of boys anywhere b/w birth and 15 years old:

y=2.79x+25.64, where x is the age(in yrs) and y is the height (in inches).

By comparing this equation to the standard linear equation, we have

Slope = 2.79 and y-intercept = 25.64

The slope tells that the rate of change of average height of boys with respect to age is 2.79 .

The y-intercept tells that the initial average height of boys =25.64 inches

Rasek [7]
To find x intercept, we must to take the y value is 0.
x intercept: -x-0=12
-x=12
x=-12

y intercept = when x value is equal to 0.
y intercept: 0-6y=12
-6y=12
y=2
