The slope is 1/4 so the slope intercept form is y=1/4+3
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope the easiest way from looking at a graph is just to find the rise over run. From looking at the graph we can see that the next point from 0,3 is 4,4. The y here is increased by 1, which means the rise is 1. The x is increased by 4 so the run is 4. From putting rise (1) over run (4) the slope is 1/4. The formula for slope intercept is y=mx+b. m is slope so we substitue that for 1/4 so now we have y=1/4x+b. Then the b is the y intercept, or, at what point the line crosses the y line. Which in this case is 0,3 so the y intercept would be 3 because that is what height it crosses the y line.
40 I believe because the space of the auto mobile catching up to the train is 4 hours. 4 times 30 is 120 miles so u need to figure out a number that can reach 120 in three hours. 3 times 40 is 120
