Question

FULL POINTS AND BRAINLIEST

2. Write the equation of the line of best fit using the slope-intercept formula y = mx + b. Show all your work, including the points used to determine the slope and how the equation was determined.
3. What does the slope of the line represent within the context of your graph? What does the y-intercept represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

2) y = 0.95x + 4

3) slope: height increases by 0.95 units as x increases by 1 unit

intercept: initial height

Step-by-step explanation:

Using (20,23) and (40,42)

Slope: (42 - 23)/(40 - 20)

0.95

y = 0.95x+ c

23 = 0.95(20) + c

c = 4

y = 0.95x + 4
