Answer:
y = 0.8x + 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the slope using two pairs of values, (0.5, 0.9) and (0.75, 1.1):
m = 0.8
Find y-intercept, b, by substituting x = 0.5, y = 0.9 and m = 0.8 into y = mx + b
Thus:
0.9 = (0.8)(0.5) + b
0.9 = 0.4 + b
0.9 - 0.4 = b
b = 0.5
To write the equation substitute m = 0.8, and b = 0.5 into y = mx + b.
Thus:
y = 0.8x + 0.5
