Find the slope and y-intercept of the line represented by each table.

Question

x - 0 | 3 | 6 | 9 | 12

y - | 10|19|28|37

Slope m = ____

Y-Intercept b =____

Answer 1

m = 3 slope = "rise over run" or change in y divided by change in x = (37-10)/(12-3) = 27/9 3

y intercept = 1

equation of the line is

y=3x+1

general equation is y=mx + b where m= slope and b= y intercept
