Question

How do i find the slope and y intercept in this scenario ?

Answer 1

using a "best fit line" I'd think

Answer 2

though the y-intercept is kinda clear from the scatter plot :)
now, the slope, you can always get it from the first derivatie =)

Answer 3

derivative even

Answer 5

This will help you

Answer 6

@jdoe0001 can u pls help ?

Answer 7

The y intercept is (2.5, 1) ???

Answer 8

:) rather

Answer 9

hmmm do you know what a y-intercept is?

Answer 10

anyhow... get a best fit line, and use that :)

Answer 11

THe point where the line goes onto the y axis

Answer 12

yeap, and if you see the graph, that point seems to be 0,0, or the origin

Answer 13

okay so 0,0 is my y intercept ?

Answer 14

well, the graph is "trending" that way, so it'll hit the y-axis there

Answer 15

Okay so the slope is ?

Answer 16

get a best fit line, and get its slope from two points

Answer 17

one sec brb let me draw the line

Answer 18

all you need is, two points from that line, to get the slope
