Answer:

The slope of the line is m=0.26 and y-intercept is 67.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Line of best fit : $y=0.26x+67.6$

To find : The slope and intercept in this context?

Solution :

The slope form of the line is $y=mx+b$

where, m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Line of best fit is $y=0.26x+67.6$

On comparing with slope form,

m=0.26 and y-intercept is 67.6

Therefore, The slope of the line is m=0.26 and y-intercept is 67.6.

The slope (increase) is 0.26 and the y-intercept (start) is 67.6.

You could describe the temperature outside using this equation.

For example, at the beginning of the day, the temperature was 67.6. Then, it increase by 0.26 degree for every given amount of time (minutes or hours).
