Question

I need help!!! 10points!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 37/5x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The points are not plotted on a single straight line, so I will find the general slope using the first and last point on the graph.

(5, 46) & (10, 83)

slope-intercept form: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

(83 - 46) / (10 - 5)

Simplify.

(37)/(5)

Your slope is 37/5.

y = 37/5x + b

To find b, plug in a point to x and y.

46 = 37/5(5) + b

46 = 37 + b

b = 9

Your equation is: y = 37/5x + 9

Check by plugging in the other point.

83 = 37/5(10) + 9

83 = 74 + 9

83 = 83

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!
