It can tell you the general pattern or that it is far from the other points in scatter plot.
Answer:
Maggie is 6 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
M + B = 26
B = 26 - M
4M - 4 = B
4M - 4 = 26 - M
5M = 30
M = 6

Slope: 3/2
Y-Intercept: -3
Equation:
y + 2 = 1/3(x+1)
Assuming you are solving for Y:
y + 2 = 1/3(x) + 1/3(1)
(y + 2) - 2 = (1/3x + 1/3) - 2
y = 1/3x + 1/3 - 2
<u>y = 1/3x - 5/3</u>
