The value of the slope m is 2.55 and the y-intercept of the line is 135.
What is a linear equation?
A relationship between two or more parameters that, when shown on a graph, produces a linear model. The degree of the variable will be one.
The linear equation is given as,
y = mx + b
Where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line.
From the table, the two points will be (60, 288.1) and (100, 390).
Then the slope of the line will be
m = [(390 - 288.1) / (100 - 60)]
m = 101.9 / 40
m = 2.55
Then the equation of the line will be
y = 2.55x + b
The equation is passing through (100, 390). Then the value of b will be
390 = 2.55 (100) + b
390 = 255 + b
b = 135
Then the equation of the line will be
y = 2.55x + 135
The value of the slope m is 2.55 and the y-intercept of the line is 135.
