Y=mx+b first we will find m or the slope.

m=(9.2-7.2)/(6-1)=2/5=0.4 now we have:

y=0.4x+b, using either point we can now solve for b, the "y-intercept", which in this case is the weight at birth :) I'll use point (1, 7.2) so our equation is:

7.2=0.4+b, b=6.8

y=0.4x+6.8

So the weight at birth was 6.8 lb

Which of the following is the equation of a line that passes through the points (1,6) and (2,1)
anastassius [24]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 1)

m = \frac{1-6}{2-1} = - 5, hence

y = - 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (1, 6), then

6 = - 5 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 5 = 11

y = - 5x + 11 → A
