plz help GET LOTS OF POINTS!!!!!!
The trend line passes through points (2,5) and (6,11). What is the slope of the trend line?

What is the y-intercept of the trend line?

Y=___X +___

Respuesta :

Answer:

slope = 3/2

y intercept = 2

y = 3/2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the slope you will you (y₂-y₁) ÷ (x₂-x₁)

(11-5) ÷ (6-2) =

6 ÷ 4 = 3/2

slope = 3/2

to find the y intercept you with use the slope intercept formula (y = mx+ b) and use one point given for x and y

for the example im going to use the point (2,5)

5 = 3/2 (2) + b

5 = 3 + b

subtract three from both sides to find b (y-intercept)

b = 2
