Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the slope, we need to use the formula m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
Now we plug in 2 numbers from your table:
(85-61)/(6-3)
24/3
8
m=8
Now let's use point-slope formula to find our equation. A point on the line is (3,61) so we can use that. When we plug it in it looks like this:
y-61=8(x-3)
Distribute the 8:
y-61=8x-24
Add 24 to both sides:
y-37=8x
Add 37 to both sides:
y=8x+37
Now our equation is in slope-intercept form. Therefore, the y intercept is 37.
HTH :)
