Answer:

y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+\frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)

<u>1) Determine the slope (</u><u><em>m</em></u><u>)</u>

m=\frac{\displaystyle y_2-y_1}{\displaystyle x_2-x_1} where two given points are (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2)

Plug in the given points (15,2.2) and (5,1.6):

m=\frac{\displaystyle 1.6-2.2}{\displaystyle 5-15}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle -0.6}{\displaystyle -10}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle 0.6}{\displaystyle 10}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle 0.3}{\displaystyle 5}\\\\m=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}

Therefore, the slope of the line is \frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (</u><u><em>b</em></u><u>)</u>

y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+b

Plug in a given point and solve for b:

1.6=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}(5)+b\\\\1.6=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}+b\\\\1.6-\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}+b-\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 10}\\\\\frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}=b

Therefore, the y-intercept is \frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}. Plug this back into y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+b:

y=\frac{\displaystyle 3}{\displaystyle 50}x+\frac{\displaystyle 13}{\displaystyle 10}

I hope this helps!
