The graph below shows the relationship between the number of months different students practiced baseball and the number of games they won:
Part A: What is the approximate y-intercept of the line of best fit and what does it represent? (5 points)

Part B: Write the equation for the line of best fit in slope-intercept form and use it to predict the number of games that could be won after 13 months of practice. (5 points)

do you see what the y-intercept is?

anonymous · Answer

well i know that the y-intercept is the place where a line crosses the y-axis

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

which is where in this case?

anonymous · Answer

is it the second dot ? ike 0,1?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

focus on the line and not the dot. The dot is a bit below the line

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

So it's probably around (0,1.5) maybe

anonymous · Answer

so what do i do?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

do you agree that the y-intercept is around (0,1.5) ?

anonymous · Answer

well i said 1 so why is it 1.5?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

I zoomed in and saw that the point at (0,1) is slightly below the place where the line crosses the y axis
