An equation is written in the form y=mx+b. “m” is the slope and “b” is the y-intercept. In the graph we see that the line crosses the y-axis at 2. So the y-intercept in 2. To find the slope, you use the distance formula. The distance formula is Y2-Y1/X2-X1. Take two points and plug them into this equation. I will use (0,2) and (2,3).

-1/-2
1/2
The slope of the line is 1/2. So, the equation of the line is y=1/2x+2.
Equations are steeper when their slope's positive value is higher (ignore negatives when determining how steep a slope is). The slope is the value in front of x. If there isn't a value in front of x, then it is assumed to be 1.
The mean for the profits of the sales is: 9819.4 The total of all the numbers are: 49097 To find the mean, we have to divide this number by 5: 49097÷5 = 9819.4. Therefore the mean is 9819.4
