Answer:
such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c"bin the UK).
Calculate the slope:
slope is defined as the change in "y" divided by the change in "x". We note that for x=0, the value of is 17.000 and for x= 2.000 the value of "y" is 13.000. So for a change 2.000 in x ( The change in "x" is sometimes referred to as "RUN") We got a change of 13.000-17.000= -4.000 in "y". (The change in "y" is sometimes referred to as"RISE" and the slope is m= RISE/RUN)
Answer:
1. slope= -2
2. x- intercept= 17/2=8.50000
3. y- intercept= 17/1=17.00000
