A scatter plot of data showing the percentage of total internet users who visited an online store on a given day in December includes the points (2008,2.0) and (2010,4.5). Write the slope intercept form of an equation for the line of fit.

So first you need to find the slope. \[m=\frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }=1.25\] Then you use the slope-intercept form equation, one of your points, and the slope to figure out the y-intercept. \[y=mx+b \rightarrow 2.0=1.25(2008)+b=-2508\] And last step is to right your slope form equation: \[y=1.25x-2508\]

Is that the answer

It should be.
