Question

The table shows the number of minutes a member of the basketball team played and the points she scored in each of nine games. What is the equation of a trend line that models a relationship between the number of minutes and the number of points?

minutes played(x): 18, 17, 10, 28, 18, 23, 30, 16, 24

points scored (y): 15, 10, 6, 18, 12, 14, 16, 3, 10

Answer 1

the equation of a line is
y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is contant

to find slope(m)
use the formula y2 - y1/ x2 - x1
take corresponding values

then take 2 corresponding values of x & y and use th slope to find the constant.

Answer 2

for example , x 2 , 4 ,6
y 5 , 8 , 10

y2 = 8 , x2 = 4 & y1 = 5 & x1 =2

so 8-5 / 4-2 = 3/2 is slope
